Important results from the project
The goal of Scalare is to support and enable industries to scale their software capability as software moves from secondary consideration to primary importance in delivering innovation and competitive products or services. The project has identified and documented a number of key scenarios that together with the developed method Scaling Management Framework (SMF) provides support and guidance for companies and individuals who are facing the need to scale up the software capabilities and the usage of software.
Expected long term effects
The project results are experiences, methods and models made available to support companies in the analysis and decision on how to scale software. Through the book ´Scaling a software business - The digitalization journey´ decision makers and other stakeholders get access to a wide variety of proven experience in different scaling scenarios identified by the project. The book also includes the description of the methodology developed by the project to support the transformation, Scaling Management Framework (SMF), and associated tools such as the Canvas.
Approach and implementation
The project has conducted a number of case studies and observations on companies and industries that have been pioneers in the scaling of software. Based on these a number of valuable experiences and lessons have been identified and documented in various scenarios. In parallel, the method SMF (Scaling Management Framework) has been developed and continuously verified through usage during the project. The result has also been compiled and made available in book format.
