style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Although there are a number of frameworks for scaling agility, they lack some elements that are particularly necessary for the development of physical products and complex systems. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Therefore, we have integrated the following additional elements into the P4 framework:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The <\/span><\/span><a

inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">interdisciplinary (cross-functional) teams with responsibility for features, products or applications<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> , but also supplying Module, Component and platform teams, as well as teams that provide special expertise as a service to other teams . <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The high level of specialization in modern system development makes the different types of teams necessary. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the P4 framework we call these team types &#8220;team flavors&#8221;.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span

style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The collaboration is fully integrated into the organization&#8217;s events.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Extensions<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In addition to the practices described above, tried and tested elements from classic methods are integrated into the &#8220;P4 toolbox&#8221;, such as requirements and test management, as well as model-based development from systems engineering.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Since P4 is a framework, other beneficial and deemed necessary practices can be integrated. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">However, it is essential to ensure that the P4 principles are observed ( <\/span><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/v2.p4-dev.com\/p4-principles\/\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">see P4 principles<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> ).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What is different from the classic matrix organization?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A classic matrix organization usually consists of the specialist departments (the lines) and a project organization in which interdisciplinary collaboration is carried out in many parallel projects. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Each employee usually works in several projects at the same time. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In large companies there is sometimes a third dimension, which divides the line organization into an international and a location-based line with the corresponding additional superiors (sometimes referred to as &#8220;dotted line&#8221;).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In today&#8217;s world of work, this &#8220;serving several gentlemen&#8221; is often a problem, since most of the work is done in the projects, but the project managers are often less empowered and in the event of a conflict, the line managers usually prevail. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This is reinforced by the large number of line managers in the interdisciplinary project team, who are mostly driven by different goals and act in different directions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In modern agile frameworks, such as P4-Dev, the balance of power of the matrix is \u200b\u200breversed: the team that is stable over time and in which an employee is located has the strongest \u201cbond\u201d and is allocated the most capacity of the employee, ideally 100%. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">An employee works for several teams (Extended Team member) only in exceptional cases. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The type of team (in P4 \u201cteam flavor\u201d) regulates whether a team works interdisciplinary with product responsibility, partly interdisciplinary with Component \/ Module responsibility or as a specialist group, e.g. as a service team with a certain technical competence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The technical line merges into the so-called \u201c<\/span><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/v2.p4-dev.com\/cop\/\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Communities-of-practice<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">, where the employees exchange content, where training takes place, and technologies and tools are maintained and further developed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Teams that work together on the same products organize themselves in a cluster, similar to the &#8220;Agile Release Train&#8221;, the &#8220;Value Stream&#8221; or the &#8220;Program Level&#8221; in other agile frameworks. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The overall organization consists of several <\/span><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/v2.p4-dev.com\/rclusterlevel\/\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Clusters<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> that are responsible for different product areas. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This creates a high degree of coherence between the goals and responsibility of the teams in the cluster.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In P4 there are no projects, no project managers and no project teams. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Contents of product development projects are presented in the backlogs of the organization, the Clusters and the teams. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The projects most closely correspond to the system or application versions (releases) planned at the Organization\/Portfolio level.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span
