Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a method for studying how product development organizations operate and communicate, with a view to improving their performance. The author emphasizes that to create better products quickly, the level of coordination among team members must be strong. However, managing communication can be challenging due to the barriers that exist across organizational, cultural, and geographical boundaries in dispersed product development teams. This book provides a methodology to predict and measure the important communication linkages in a product development organization and to determine where and to what extent the necessary transfer of information takes place. The author conducted a case study in industry to test the methodology. The results demonstrate that essential technical interactions can be planned and do not necessarily require co-location. Additionally, unplanned, informal interactions should be facilitated by co-location of core team members.
