A MANAGED APPROACH OF INTERACTION BETWEEN AGILE SCRUM AND SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

In current age the agile software development is one of the most popular software development methodology but due the mismanagement and lack of efficient handling of agile scrum and software configuration management system our software industry is facing a high rate of failed product, keeping this as my motivation, I have designed a efficient checklist which will help the industry to organized the interaction between agile scrum process and software configuration management system in a efficient and managed way and definitely that will increase the successful project in the software industry. Index-term : Agile Scrums, Software development, Software configuration management system, Checklist, Successful project

The Trajectory of IT in Healthcare at HICSS: A Literature Review, Analysis, and Future Directions

Research has extensively demonstrated that healthcare industry has rapidly implemented and adopted information technology in recent years. Research in health information technology (HIT), which represents a major component of the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, demonstrates similar findings. In this paper, review the literature to better understand the work on HIT that researchers have conducted in HICSS from 2008 to 2017. In doing so, we identify themes, methods, technology types, research populations, context, and emerged research gaps from the reviewed literature. With much change and development in the HIT field and varying levels of adoption, this review uncovers, catalogs, and analyzes the research in HIT at HICSS in this ten-year period and provides future directions for research in the field

RE-CONCEPTUALIZATION OF TAILORING TYPES AND THEIR IMPACTS: A PERSPECTIVE FOR CONTEMPORARY ERP SYSTEMS

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems continue to gain importance in today’s tough global environment. Organizations are making large investments in ERP systems because of their promised benefits. Several observations have been made in the literature which suggest that organizations should avoid tailoring the ERP systems as much as possible while implementing and using them. It is assumed that this approach will result in realizing the likely benefits of ERP systems. However, because of ever evolving requirements and individual needs of the organizations, even a ‘Vanilla’ package has to undergo through customization. Literature on the ERP systems provides different typologies of the ERP customizations. However, there is a pressing need for a new and refined typology as the functionality of the ERP packages has matured and advanced over the years. This paper is intended to present the re-conceptualization of the ERP customization typology and, moreover, it aims to develop new assessment criterion that can be used to assess the impact of the different types of customizations

How Well Do Service Concepts Apply to Digital Services and Service Digitalization?

This paper explores the extent to which typical service concepts apply to digital service (DS) and service digitalization. It defines service, service systems, digital, digitalization, digital objects, digital agents, digital service, and service digitalization. Application of those definitions to four real world cases explores how well concepts from the service literature describe DS and service digitalization

Critical Issues in Enterprise Architecting – A Literature Review

Enterprise Architecture (EA) has been identified as a means to Business-/IT-Alignment, cost reduction or to facilitate change. Research has been focusing on the effectiveness of EA management while the enterprise architecting process is the process of developing, managing, utilizing and maintaining architectural descriptions (ADs) for EA. In this paper we present the results of a literature review on the process of enterprise architecting. Our research contribution is a consolidated view on the challenges and issues arising throughout the architecting process

owards a reference model for grassroots enterprise mashup environments

Health care services in German hospitals are causing immense expenses. Successful IT Governance might help to support specific challenges for every organization with an adequate use of IT. The market structure of hospitals in Germany is very heterogeneous, e.g. in size and sponsorship. This paper analyses the state of the art of IT Governance based on a survey among 220 IT executives in German hospitals. The quantitative analyses of collected survey data reveal that hospitals govern their IT differently according to size and sponsorship. In addition, our analyses show that decision-making authority for the IT budget rises with hospital size and is positively correlated with the fraction of IT projects in the overall IT budget. We also show that the investments in innovative IT projects increase with hospital size. Our study revealed that a high number of private and larger hospitals lack a systematic IT Governance approach within the decision domain on IT projects. This study is the first to shed light into the empirical situation of IT Governance in German hospitals

Walk this Way! Incentive Structures of Different Token Designs for Blockchain-Based Applications

Cryptoeconomics is an emerging research area in the field of blockchain technology aiming at understanding token design mechanisms intended to incentivize certain behaviors. Whereas several blockchain ecosystems have been emerging in recent years, little is known about incentive design in blockchain protocols other than Bitcoin. To address this gap, we use agent-based modeling (ABM) to simulate the effects of different token designs on usage in the context of prediction markets. We find that network tokens (i.e., tokens providing services within a system) provide the largest incentive for individuals to join and become long-term active users. Moreover, we find that investment tokens (i.e., tokens used to passively invest in the issuing entity) provide the smallest incentive compared to network tokens and cryptocurrencies (i.e., means of payment in a blockchain ecosystem). We advance the literature by testing the boundary conditions of different token designs for blockchain-based ecosystems using a novel ABM approach
