Digital transformation is rapidly causing major, even disruptive changes in many industries. Moreover, global developments like digital platforms (cloud) and IoT create fundamentally new connections at many levels between objects, organizations and people (systems-of-systems). These are by nature dynamic and often work in real time – further increasing the complexity. These systemic changes bring up new profound questions: What are those new software-intensive systems like? How are they created and developed? Which principles should guide such organizational design? Agile enterprises are by definition proficient with such capabilities. What solutions are the current scaled agile frameworks such as SAFe and LeSS proposing, and why? In this paper, we aim to recognize the design principles of future software organizations, and discuss existing experiences from various different organizations under transformations, and the insights gained. The purpose is to systematize this by proposing a competence development impact-mapping grid for new digitalization drivers and goals with potential solutions based on our agile software enterprise transformation experiences. Our research approach is based on the resource-based and competence-based views (RBV, CBV) of organizations. We point out how most decision-making in companies will be more and more software-related when companies focus on software. This has profound impacts on organizational designs, roles and competencies. Moreover, increasing data-intensification poses new demands for more efficient organizational data processing and effective knowledge utilization capabilities. However, decisive systematic transformations of companies bring new powerful tools for steering successfully under such new business conditions. We demonstrate this via real-life examples.

未来的软件组织–敏捷的目标和角色

数字化转型正在迅速引起许多行业的重大甚至颠覆性变化。此外，数字平台（云）和物联网等全球发展在对象，组织和人员（系统系统）之间的许多层次上建立了根本的新连接。它们本质上是动态的，通常实时运行，从而进一步增加了复杂性。这些系统的变化带来了新的深刻问题：那些新的软件密集型系统是什么样的？如何创建和开发它们？哪些原则应指导这种组织设计？根据定义，敏捷企业精通此类功能。当前的可扩展敏捷框架（例如SAFe和LeSS）提出了哪些解决方案，为什么？在本文中，我们旨在认识未来软件组织的设计原则，并讨论转型中来自不同组织的现有经验，以及获得的见解。目的是通过基于敏捷软件企业转型经验为新的数字化驱动程序和目标提出能力发展影响映射网格以及潜在的解决方案，从而对此进行系统化。我们的研究方法基于组织的基于资源和基于能力的观点（RBV，CBV）。我们指出，当公司专注于软件时，公司中的大多数决策将越来越与软件相关。这对组织设计，角色和能力具有深远的影响。而且，数据强度的提高对更有效的组织数据处理和有效的知识利用能力提出了新的要求。然而，公司的决定性的系统转型带来了强大的新工具，可以在这种新的业务条件下成功进行指导。我们通过真实的例子来证明这一点。
