Kernan Freire, S. (author), Panicker, Sarath (author), Ruiz Arenas, S. (author), Rusak, Z. (author), Niforatos, E. (author)Operating a complex and dynamic system, such as an agile manufacturing line, is a knowledge-intensive task. It imposes a steep learning curve on novice operators and prompts experienced operators to continuously discover new knowledge, share it, and retain it. In practice, training novices is resource-intensive, and the knowledge discovered by...journal article 2023

Stubbé, Laurien (author)This thesis describes the concept of a reconfigurable wheelbase for a car as a way to improve agility at higher velocities. Altering the longitudinal position of each wheel with respect to the centre of gravity, leads to a change in lateral wheel forces. This affects the car's yaw rate, therefore making it possible to influence its agility....master thesis 2022

van der Vliet, Stan (author)Large software projects often overrun costs, development time and do not deliver what has been envisioned by the customer. An important factor contributing to these cost overruns is the mismatch in the approaches of IT-architects and agile software development roles. In literature there are hints that complementary added value could be achieved...master thesis 2022

Van Wessel, Robert M. (author), Kroon, Philip (author), de Vries, H.J. (author)Many organizations have embraced agile methods. Studies show a trend of large-scale application of agile frameworks company-wide. Emergent architecture design as part of an agile approach is effective at the project level but causes issues when services need to interact seamlessly at the enterprise level. Enterprise architecture (EA) can provide...journal article 2022

Hoogendijk, Celine (author)As agile practices lack a focus on understanding the actual problem, and Design Thinking is assumed to be a promising approach to complement agile practices regarding this lack, this graduation project aims to identify opportunity areas to leverage the Design Thinking methodology in the process of agile software development. The context of focus...master thesis 2021

Iliuhin, Mihai (author)Scholars have studied for many years the challenges of integrating requirements traceability in Agile environments. The developed tools, frameworks, and models in the literature take a rather technical perspective on the problem. The scholars focus primarily on mechanisms that provide accurate and relevant information retrieval from the...master thesis 2021

Geerlings, Michelle (author)Policymaking regarding Artificial Intelligence is threatened to lag behind, and the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security stated its desire to catch up. The longer we wait, the wider the ‘gap’ will become between regulation and market development. In order to keep AI technology beneficial, a human-centered design approach should be key not only...master thesis 2020

Voortman, Jens (author)Agile is a software development approach based on a set of 4 values and 12 principles. Using this set Scrum was developed as a agile framework in the early 1990s, which still remains the most popular framework today. However, Scrum originated to be used by a small number of co-located teams. When the amount of teams and the distance between the...master thesis 2020

Karantani, Chrysa Nefeli (author)Construction projects deal with a lot of uncertainties in the design stage and therefore, changes in the design are sometimes unavoidable. There are various factors leading to design changes, however, the most frequent factor is the client. Clients often produce vague design briefs and as a result, design changes are expected at a later stage,...master thesis 2020
