Making Sense of Agile Project Management Business & Economics/Project Management The essential primer to successfully implementing agile project management into an overall business strategy For a project to be truly successful, its management strategy must be flexible enough to adapt to dynamic and rapidly evolving business needs. Making Sense of Agile Project Management helps project managers think outside the box by presenting a deep exploration of agile principles, methodologies, and practices. Straying from traditional bureaucratic procedures that are rigidly defined, this book espouses a heavy reliance on the training and skill of collaborative, cross-functional teams to adapt the methodology to the problem that they are attempting to solve—rather than force-fitting a project to a particular methodology. Making Sense of Agile Project Management: Focuses on how agile project management fits with other more traditional project management models to provide a more effective strategy Includes many cases taken from real-world companies illustrating good and bad agile implementation Provides coverage that is balanced and objective with discussion of both agile and non-agile methodologies Making Sense of Agile Project Management employs a straightforward approach that enables project managers to grasp concepts quickly and develop adaptable management tools for creating a vibrant and fluid business environment. By utilizing the principles laid out in this book, business managers and leaders will strengthen their ability to meet the risks and complexities of any individual project—and better understand how to blend the appropriate balance of control and agility into an overall business strategy.

Whether or not infants' earliest perception of the world is a "blooming, buzzing, confusion," it is not long before they come to perceive structure and order among the objects and events around them. At the core of this process, and cognitive development in general, is the ability to categorize--to group events, objects, or properties together--and to form mental representations, or concepts, that encapsulate the commonalities and structure of these categories. Categorization is the primary means of coding experience, underlying not only perceptual and reasoning processes, but also inductive inference and language. The aim of this book is to bring together the most recent findings and theories about the origins and early development of categorization and conceptual abilities. Despite recent advances in our understanding of this area, a number of hotly debated issues remain at the center of the controversy over categorization. Researchers continue to ask questions such as: Which mechanisms for categorization are available at birth and which emerge later? What are the relative roles of perceptual similarity and nonobservable properties in early classification? What is the role of contextual variation in categorization by infants and children? Do different experimental procedures reveal the same kind of knowledge? Can computational models simulate infant and child categorization? How do computational models inform behavioral research? What is the impact of language on category development? How does language partition the world? This book is the first to address these and other key cuestions within a single volume. The authors present a diverse set of views representing cutting-edge empirical and theoretical advances in the field. The result is a thorough review of empirical contributions to the literature, and a wealth of fresh theoretical perspectives on early categorization.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly introduced into many systems that modern society rely on and is often portrayed as a savior that can contribute to finding solutions to societal challenges e.g., social, and ecological sustainability. Many of these systems can be classified as complex systems, with interdependencies, emergent behaviors and a diversity of actors involved. As AI is increasingly introduced into these systems, we witness a transformation from complex systems into complex intelligent systems. At the same time caution is invoked toward the risks of AI regarding e.g., biases and loss of control as more tasks are transferred to AI. Hence, the introduction of AI into complex systems is associated with uncertainties around management of AI initiatives and their influence on future systems. Challenges like this can affect many different functions and professions and thus need to be understood collectively. The aim of this thesis is to examine how the actors’ prospective collective sensemaking processes in developing complex systems are affected by AI introduction. Previous research within complex systems literature shows important aspects regarding sensemaking of the system and situations within operations of complex systems. However, sensemaking in the development process of complex systems has been less studied. By examining the introduction of AI in complex systems development this thesis explores collective prospective sensemaking processes in the development of complex intelligent systems. To study an emerging phenomenon like AI introduction in complex systems, an explorative case study was found suitable. The case chosen for the study was a cross-organizational development project of an AI-tool based on Machine Learning for planning of energy systems to be used in the urban planning process of new city districts. This setting revealed plenty prospective and collective sensemaking occasions around AI introduction and exhibited continuous engagement in prospective collective sensemaking relating to the development of the AI tool and the imagined use of the AI tool in the system, which have been reported in the two appended papers. The first paper showed misalignment between actors’ sensemaking processes that alternated between seeking and disengaging behaviors. It also identified the use of boundary objects to retain disengaged actors and raised considerations around the level of detail of the boundary objects in relation to the sensemaking behaviors. The second paper identified dependencies between near- and distant-sensemaking loops that highlight challenges to connect retrospective insights with prospective imaginations by action in the present. In the creation of complex intelligent systems, human involvement seems inevitable, and the second paper exposes how AI can augment human cognition and organizational capabilities for creative imagination around possible and desirable distant-future scenarios. This thesis extends previous research on prospective and collective sensemaking in the development process of complex intelligent systems by presenting a framework of near and distant future sensemaking and internal and external complexity. This provided new insights of how knowledge flows over system levels and how to use boundary objects throughout such projects. Insight that can be useful for management of purposeful AI introduction in complex systems and society. Moreover, it contributes with an empirical case of AI introduction in complex systems to the innovation management literature. Artificiell intelligens (AI) integreras alltmer i de system som vårt moderna samhälle vilar på och framställs ofta som en viktig faktor för att lösa de utmaningar som samhället står inför, till exempel social och ekologisk hållbarhet. Många av dessa system kan definieras som komplexa system, med ömsesidiga beroenden, oförutsedda beteenden och en mångfald av inblandade aktörer. När AI introduceras i sådana system kan vi skönja en transformation från komplexa system till komplexa intelligenta system. Samtidigt påtalas ofta riskerna med AI avseende till exempel partiskhet och minskad kontroll när uppgifter tas över av AI. Införandet av AI i samhällskritiska system förknippas därmed med osäkerheter kring hanteringen av AI-initiativ och dess påverkan på framtiden. Detta leder till utmaningar som berör många olika funktioner och professioner och därmed behöver förstås kollektivt. Syftet med avhandlingen är att undersöka aktörernas framtidsorienterade, gemensamma, meningsskapande processer under utveckling av komplexa system och hur de påverkas av introduktionen av AI. Tidigare forskning inom komplexa system har visat på viktiga aspekter gällande människors förståelse av systemet och situationer framförallt inom driften av komplexa system. Meningsskapande i utvecklingsprocessen av komplexa system har dock hittills inte uppmärksammats i samma utsträckning. Genom att undersöka introduktionen av AI i utvecklingen av komplexa system utforskar denna avhandling kollektiva, framåtblickande, meningsskapande processer inom utvecklingen av komplexa intelligenta system. För studier av ett framväxande fenomen som AI-introduktion i komplexa system ansågs en explorativ fallstudie lämplig. Det valda fallet var ett utvecklingsprojekt av ett AI-verktyg baserat på maskininlärning med syfte att användas i planeringen av energisystem inom stadsplaneringsprocessen av nya stadsdelar och hade flera medverkande organisationer. Fallet visade på flera framtidsorienterade och gemensamma meningsskapande situationer kring AI-introduktion. Därmed synliggjordes de medverkandes kontinuerliga deltagande i framåtblickande gemensamt meningsskapande relaterat till utvecklingen av AI-verktyget och dess tänkta användningen i systemet, vilket rapporterats i de två bilagda artiklarna. Den första artikeln visade att de meningsskapande processerna var ur fas mellan aktörerna, vilka växlade mellan sökande och oengagerade beteenden, och att användningen av gränsöverskridande objekt med rätt detaljnivå kan involvera oengagerade aktörer. Den andra artikeln identifierade beroenden mellan olika meningsskapande cykler, närliggande respektive avlägsen framtid, vilket belyser utmaningar med att koppla tillbakablickande insikter till framåtblickande föreställningar om systemet genom handling i nuet. Vid skapande av komplexa intelligenta system framstår mänsklig inblandning som oundviklig, och den andra artikeln belyser även hur AI kan förstärka mänsklig kognition och organisatoriska förmågor för att främja kreativ föreställningsförmåga kring möjliga och önskvärda scenarier av en avlägsen framtid. Avhandlingen bidrar genom att bredda tidigare forskning om framtidsorienterat och kollektivt meningsskapande i utvecklingsprocessen av komplexa intelligenta system genom att presentera ett ramverk av närliggande och avlägset framåtblickande och intern och extern komplexitet. Det visar på nya insikter om hur kunskap flödar över systemnivåer och gränsöverskridande objekt kan användas under sådana utvecklingsprojekt. Sådana insikter kan vara praktiskt användbara för en välgrundad AI-introduktion i komplexa system och i samhället i stort. Dessutom bidrar den med en empirisk fallstudie av resan mot AI-introduktion i komplexa system till litteraturen inom innovationsledning.

Bartik provides a clear and concise overview of how state and local governments employ economic development incentives in order to lure companies to set up shop—and provide new jobs—in needy local labor markets. He shows that many such incentive offers are wasteful and he provides guidance, based on decades of research, on how to improve these programs.
