This session includes “Icebreaker” Roundtables in a relaxed location in the heart of Berlin. Icebreaker Roundtable Individualisation versus Standardisation – which path to follow Martin Neff, Complexity Manager, Audi AG / Germany Icebreaker Roundtable In search of the perfect abstractions for taming variant complexity ● Complexity management and variant management go hand in hand. Every aspect of automotive engineering contributes its share of both complexity and variation. ● Which aspects or engineering phases or artifacts introduce the most complexity, why, and what form does that complexity take? ● What unifying abstractions can be used to provide a common language to express the plethora of ways that products vary? ● Can features — a concept at the core of modern Product Line Engineering — be that lingua franca? Dr. Paul Clements, Vice President of Customer Success, BigLever Software / USA Icebreaker Roundtable Siri for Product / Variant Managers ● Think about having something like Apple‘s Siri or Microsoft‘s Cortana for your job in product / variant management. What questions would you like to ask to your „Variant Siri“, e.g., „Which are the least valuable variants“? ● What kind of instructions would you like to give to your Variant Siri, what kind of tasks should she be able to fulfil? ● Which of these questions and instructions can be answered / done by software now or in 3-5 years or never?
