This Bachelor Thesis in the area of Computer Science and Work Science describes
the process of design and development of an IT-tool between the municipality of
Ron-neby and TietoEnator a development and consultancy firm, the Gothenburg
office.
The thesis focuses mainly on the cooperation between the consultant designer
and the local municipal. Through cooperation, the organisation is incorporated
into the tool and the tool is incorporated into the organisation. Concepts that
are central in this thesis are design, cooperation and tailoring. A question
raised is, if distance work and extensive cooperation might be a good way of
working in the process of design and development, when the organisation is
being incorporated into the tool. Advan-tages and disadvantages of this way of
working are discussed.
Our studies show that distance work is a good complement for personal meet-ings
between designer and co-developer. There are several advantages and
disadvan-tages with distance work. Through cooperation, the co-developer gains
the advantage of being able to affect the tool through proposals of design.
This also gives an in-creased opportunity for tailoring in the future.
The support to the co-workers in the organisation is important for how the tool
will be received. The long-term aspect of the process of design and development
of IT is of importance when organisations continually develop and change over
time. The IT-tool ought to be flexible and tailorable.
In the end of this thesis, some proposals are given concerning cooperative
proc-esses of design and development, on the basis of our studies during the
work with this Bachelor Thesis.
