WP 4: Empirically applying refined tools
and processes in specific case studies

The main objective of the fourth work package is to identify strengths and weaknesses of improved processes and tools.

Its main tasks are

  • to select specific case studies in co-operation with the praxis affiliates. These cases should be appropriate for using tools and processes. At the same time, the selection will consider research interests and the complementarity of cases in the research field. The cases selected should be among the cases experienced in the internships.
  • to apply empirically the proposed improvements. One of the appropriate tools and processes identified in the third work package is applied to an ongoing case study. If no window of opportunity is open for empirical work, such an improvement will be applied hypothetically with interviews.
  • to evaluate the specific case studies according to a common evaluation grid. The strengths and weaknesses of using proposed tools and processes are assessed and evaluated with the evaluation grid.

Finally, the main deliverable of this work package are case study reports on weaknesses and strengths of novel processes and tools.
