InnoDev Workshop: A One Day Introduction to Combining Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Agile Software Development

Digitalization in the financial sector challenges banking institutions to develop new methods of innovation processes by incorporating current concepts such as design thinking (DT), agile software development (ASD), and cocreation. This qualitative study is based on empirical research conducted at three Indonesian banks. Semi-structured interviews with three IT executives and a questioner of 31 middle managers participating in digital banking efforts were used to gather data. A Systematic Literature Review based on Kitchenheim processes generates keywords in the VOS Viewer software. NVIVO 12 qualitative software is employed to aid data analysis for illustrating the process integration. The research's contribution is identified, including process integration, obstacles, potential solutions, and enhanced framework on adopting DT, ASD, and Co-creation. Keywords— design thinking, agile software development, co-creation, Innovation

AbstractDesign Thinking (DT) is an established approach to conceptualize software products before starting the product development work. Research suggests that software development can benefit from a continuous integration of DT throughout Agile development processes. However, practitioners and researchers lack an in-depth understanding of which tools from the ever-growing DT toolbox are suited to support software development teams and their processes and how these tools can be applied to the teams’ daily work. As initial steps towards closing this knowledge gap, we present our experiences from testing five different DT tools from a previously developed toolbox with four Agile software development teams. Each team chose three tools to apply to their product, problem, and context during a workshop. We present summarised findings regarding the use cases, benefits, and challenges of these tools as experienced by the participants. Overall, the teams welcomed the DT tools and were able to independently apply them to achieve the desired effects, e.g., to highlight user needs, find product issues, and discover team challenges.
