Rethinking daily stand-ups: AI analysis to identify improvement potentials in agile development teams ISEM - Institute for Smart Engineering and Machine Elements, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany Daily stand-ups often deviate from their intended efficiency. This study shows that challenges like unequal participation, recurring blockers, and lack of goal orientation can be made visible through an AI-based analysis method. Validated in several iterations with real company data, the method provides transparent and data-protection-compliant results. By identifying specific improvement potentials, the approach creates a data-driven foundation for teams to optimize their meetings and their collaboration. Agile alignment in production system development processes Jönköping University, Sweden This study explores the alignment of production system development processes (PSDP) with agile principles in the automotive industry. A multiple case study of eight companies reveals low overall alignment, with OEMs and subcontractors constrained by sequential, stage-gate structures, while engineering consultants show higher agility in early phases. Findings suggest gradual adoption of hybrid models, culural changes and iterative planning to enhance flexibility and responsiveness. Teamflow in product development teams: designing resilient engineering environments ISEM - Institute for Smart Engineering and Machine Elements, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany This paper presents a controlled laboratory study investigating how environmental factors influence team resilience and teamflow in product development contexts. It examines which factors shape teams’ adaptive responses and collective engagement. In the study, one factor per People–Organization–Technology dimension was systematically manipulated: member unavailability, time autonomy, and material quality. Results reveal distinct effects on performance and collaborative dynamics, providing empirical foundations for designing resilient team environments in engineering work. Decisive design: how spatial arrangements shape group decision-making 1Technical University of Munich, Germany; 2Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, Germany This paper examines how spatial arrangements affect digitally supported individual and group decision-making. In a controlled within-subjects study, 24 participants completed the NASA Moon Survival Task across three spatial conditions: standing at an interactive table, sitting at the same table with personal zones, and using laptops. By analysing decision quality, speed, and perceived collaboration, the study shows that spatial design meaningfully shapes decision performance, interaction dynamics, and user experience. | ||
