Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Reiseführer „AGILien“ - zwischen Hype, Komplexität und praktischem NutzenThe travel guide “AGILien” was developed by the VDI Technical Committee 710 to make agile development of mechatronic products understandable, accessible and practically useful. Instead of promoting agility as a trend or a fixed framework, the guide uses the metaphor of a journey to explain principles, culture, benefits and challenges of agile ways of working. This contribution gives an overview of the guide’s content and discusses why such a guide is relevant today. Two aspects are examined in greater depth: agility as a response to complexity through iterative learning cycles, and the cultural change required for self-organization and leadership in mechatronic development. The paper argues that the value of the complete guide lies in connecting history, mindset, application and practical reflection.Publicationtype: Conference Paper10 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Behavioural design for agile collaboration – Entwicklung eines Laborexperiments für NudgingAgile product development faces recurring challenges under time pressure. Nudging offers a promising, choice-preserving intervention. This paper presents the explorative development and validation of a laboratory experiment assessing nudges against agile teamwork challenges. A systematic literature review identified communication breakdowns among team members as a central, generalizable challenge, informing a decision tree for selecting lab-suitable nudges. Using the Experimental Vignette Methodology, an immersive Home-Office scenario was implemented and tested in a mixed-design laboratory study (n=19) combining think-aloud protocols and questionnaires. Findings on task comprehension inform refinement of the experimental setup for future confirmatory studies.Publicationtype: Conference Paper12 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Teamflow und Entscheidungen: Empirische Analyse in kollaborativen Konstruktionsprozessen(The Design Society, 2026-10); ; ; ; Collaborative design teams in team flow exhibit high communicative coherence but may suppress critical reflection, yielding poor decision quality despite apparent effectiveness — a phenomenon the authors term "Deceptive Fluency." This exploratory study combines AI-based team flow analysis (Teamflow-Score 6.83/10) with expert-rated decision quality assessment (S1=2.48, S2=2.04, Fleiss' κ=0.57, nominal) in a real GSD live-lab session. Results from this single case study provide first exploratory indications of a co-occurrence of high team flow and low decision quality in 7 of 9 decisions. Ten requirements for a data-driven, flow-preserving assistance system are derived across three dimensions: recognition, intervention design, and technical integrationPublicationtype: Conference Paper9 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Datengesteuerte LCA am Beispiel von Werkzeugmaschinen(Springer Vieweg, 2026-07-08); ; ; ; Der Beitrag untersucht, wie eine datengesteuerte Lebenszyklusanalyse (LCA) am Beispiel einer Werkzeugmaschine umgesetzt werden kann. Im Fokus steht die Nutzung realer Betriebsdaten zur Quantifizierung und Bewertung der Umweltwirkungen in der Nutzungsphase sowie zur Ableitung konkreter Optimierungsmaßnahmen. Dazu wird die Betriebsphase einer Werkzeugmaschine datenbasiert modelliert und einer annahmenbasierten Modellierung gegenübergestellt. Der Vergleich zeigt eine durchschnittliche Abweichung von ca. 24 % und verdeutlicht damit die Relevanz, Betriebsdaten bei der Quantifizierung von Umweltwirkungen zu nutzen. Zudem werden Betriebsdaten zur Identifikation von Verbrauchstreibern herangezogen und als Grundlage für die Weiterentwicklung neuer Systemgenerationen genutzt. Darauf aufbauend werden drei Handlungsebenen zur Reduktion betriebsbedingter CO2e-Emissionen abgeleitet. Diese umfassen soft- und hardwareseitige Veränderungen an der Werkzeugmaschine, die Art und Weise, wie Werkzeugmaschinen betrieben werden, sowie die Veränderung geometriebezogener Bauteileigenschaften von Blechkonstruktionen. Abschließend werden die Lösungsansätze zusammengeführt und ihr potenzieller Beitrag zur Reduktion der CO2e-Emissionen in der Betriebsphase auf 35,8 % quantifiziert.Publicationtype: Book Part48 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Rethinking daily stand-ups: AI analysis to identify improvement potentials in agile development teams(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07-02); ; 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.Publicationtype: Conference Paper31 13 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Effects of design decisions on sustainability in product development: a case study for machine tools(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07-02); ; This study examines how product development activities influence the environmental sustainability of complex mechatronic systems using a 2D-flatbed laser cutting system as a case study. Three levels are identified, the machine, operation and part level, at which design changes can affect environmental sustainability during machine operation. Utilizing operational machine data, nine design changes are derived indicating that ∼36% of the environmental impact in the use phase can be reduced through technical design solutions, enabling EcoDesign principles supported by data-driven approaches.Publicationtype: Conference Paper23 18 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , From models to impact: a human-AI approach for effective support of collaborative teams in agile product development(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07-02); ; ; Agile teams often encounter obstacles in systematically identifying the underlying root causes of collaboration challenges and deriving effective countermeasures. Grounded in the Design Research Methodology, this study investigates a hybrid AI-human approach for targeted generation of problem-specific reference and impact models to enhance systematic improvement in agile product development. A structured workflow integrates AI capabilities (e.g. scaffolding, consistency) and expert knowledge (causality, context), while a three-stage review ensures methodological rigor and result reliability.Publicationtype: Conference Paper25 10 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , A product-oriented visualization method supporting communication and planning in engineering reviews(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07); ; ; ; In iterative product development, teams encounter various issues, such as difficulty communicating easily with stakeholders during reviews or internally during sprint planning. The present paper proposes a product-oriented visualization method that highlights engineering changes and deviations, enhances communication, anchors review feedback directly to components, and supports deriving actionable planning steps. Its implementation in development settings has demonstrated the enhancement of transparency, shared understanding, and traceability.Publicationtype: Conference Paper60 11 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Drivers and barriers of learning MBSE: design and validation of a RAG-based AI chatbot leveraging smart views(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07); ; ; ; Learning MBSE is hindered by abstraction and complex tools. This paper identifies barriers via literature review and interviews to design a RAG-based chatbot acting as a “smart view” for contextual guidance. Evaluated through a semester-long field study and a controlled experiment, the prototype shows high usability and reduces cognitive load. While performance is comparable to traditional e-books, the RAG-enabled system effectively mitigates entry-level barriers and aids authentic project work through stepwise tutoring, offering a scalable, interactive complement to MBSE education.Publicationtype: Conference Paper28 17 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Teamflow in product development teams: designing resilient engineering environments(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07); ; ; ; 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.Publicationtype: Conference Paper51 8
