Scaled Agile IT Organizations
Over the past two decades, agile software development methods have been adopted by an increasing number of organizations to improve their software development processes. In contrast to traditional methods, agile methods place more emphasis on flexible processes than on detailed upfront plans and heavy documentations. Since agile methods have proved to be successful at the team level, large organizations are now aiming to scale agile methods to the enterprise level by adopting so-called scaled agile frameworks. Scaling agile methods at the enterprise level with some amount of architectural planning prevents excessive redesign efforts and functional redundancy in application architectures. An effective evolution of application architectures requires the right trade-off between emergent and intentional architectural design and a close collaboration between agile and architecture teams.

EAM-Initiative - The Open EAM Knowledge Platform
Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) is a complex and hard to grab topic. This is due to a huge, unstructured body of knowledge which is constantly growing and the existence of different language communities, which emerged over time. Due to these circumstances, there is no definition of state-of-the-art EAM foundations relevant to practitioners. Also, there are high entrance barriers for young scholars. To address this issue, a group of eight EAM experts founded the eam-initiative.org. As the mission statement states, this is „… an open Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) platform ... [which] guides you to examples from practice and to reusable study material based on a consolidated conceptual foundation. We want to make EAM accessible to a wider audience and to advance the effectiveness of EA initiatives based on contributions from the EA community.“ 

TUM Living Lab Connected Mobility
The aim of this project is to deliver innovative contributions regarding the design, the architecture, and the scalable realization of an open, vendor independence digital mobility platform. This platform will be developed in a close cooperation with leading companies and will offer small and medium-sized companies a marketplace to develop and operate digital mobility services with substantial lower financial, organization and technical effort with the option of networking.

Platform Ecosystem and Governance
The aim of this work package is the development, implementation, documentation and critical reflection of the governance processes for the TUM Living Lab Connected Mobility in the course of the project. In particular, it will be investigated, to which degree these governance processes and methods support the subsequent operation of the mobility platform and the controlled evolution of the ecosystem
