The SCALARE project* uses the Scaling Management Framework (SMF) to provide guidance in creating a roadmap for different scaling approaches such as Open Source, Lean .. The answer to the question “how to roadmap our transformation? ” is in NQRZOHGJHJOHDQHGIURPSUHYLRXVH[SHULHQFHVDQGWKH60)SURYLGHVDQHDV\ZD\WRÀQGLQIRUPDWLRQ relevant to you.

What motivates these companies to transform their businesses, what are their goals, or in other words, what are the business drivers.

Obviously, IT is only one of the cogs in the digitized business that needs to spin in new ways. Eight Standard Scenarios, a map and compass on your scaling journeys, is a collection of the most common recurring patterns that the SCALARE team has observed across different examples.

The SMF Canvas, an integral part of the SMF, is a tool to understand and describe software development scaling. We must clearly formulate why we want to change something and scale up our software development.
Speed of the product or service – What are the response times for different use cases?. The software model with its three domains and their building blocks provides a structure to describe the actual implementation of the product or service.

The easiest way to read the book is to flip through the pages and read through the short scenario descriptions. So if you are interested in Open Source, you can just read the two Open Source chapters. A second way to read the book is to look at the five categories of managers, which are presented on the right of this page spread.
Instead, we've written this book with busy managers in mind—people, like you, who don't have time to read the entire book carefully, but only the sections that are relevant to your particular business.

First things first
Co-develop in a community
Even though working with Open Source should preferably be sanctioned by management, it often starts as skunkwork*. Awareness of the costs associated with Open Source is emerging, both as a threat (potential litigation for license violations) and primarily as an opportunity (faster development and less maintenance). For most developers, this goes without saying: integrating Open Source software is no different than integrating third-party software.
For some companies, open source software becomes a key element in both the company's offering and its innovation.
Sharing is caring
Sony Mobile's Open Source journey began with general curiosity among developers at Sony Ericsson's development department. It realized early on that an Open Source project must be transparent and encourage participation and collaboration. They also noted that Open Source would become absolutely critical to the company's survival from a business perspective.
Open Source has support from executive management, is incorporated into the product strategy, development goals for champion communities and collaboration are broadened.
Engineering Driven
An early discovery and awareness phase where developers explore and "play" with open source software. A company begins to use open source software in a governed manner, seeing that it can reduce cost and improve interoperability. Open source projects and collaborations are driven to achieve technical and even more so business goals that can change market logic.
The company has developed a full-fledged Open Source company culture, with full strategic support from top management, to the extent that the company is capable of disrupting entire markets.
Business Driven
Understand the level of maturity to drive change, provide a vision and outline a strategy to drive change. Take advantage of an open source auditing tool to ensure compliance and to extract copyleft* code. In addition to courses, an everyday current spirit of education should be part of all interaction.
A thriving Open Source culture behind the wall
The rumor spread and more and more colleagues started using Adams tools for code sharing. At the time, the IT department had licensed a commercial code lifecycle management system, but it turned out that the developers preferred to use Adam's tools. There were a few attempts to get developers to use the commercial solution, but Adam's solution was already too ingrained in the organization.
And the only support Adam provided was some brief documentation on how to use the tools and some thoughts on Inner Sourcing through his blog.
Keeping the doors open
OPEN SOURCE
Furthermore, it considers understanding the availability of Open Source software and developing a make-buy-share strategy for adding software components to their products. The Compliance process addresses licensing issues and how their proprietary software and new Open Source software can coexist. While corporate leadership encourages participation in communities, development teams are still primarily users, not contributors, of Open Source software.

Building ecosystems
Similarly, Apple's OS X and iOS are heavily dependent on Open Source (BSD Unix and Web Kit among others). At this point, the company is well versed in the engineering and legal aspects of Open Source.

Add supplementary services
It basically means that the customer gets something they want without having to worry about the supplier trying to provide it. At its core, servitization is a transformation journey – it involves companies developing the capabilities needed to deliver services and solutions that either complement or replace their traditional product offerings.
The middle approach is to keep the product and transform the business model into a subscription one. ITIL 2011 has proven to be an excellent source of knowledge to help with this. If a feature does not meet the customer's expectations, the design needs to be improved.
Many of them work according to the customer development methods described in "The Lean Startup".
Adding Internet to things
Once the machine is back in the garage, the data is collected and sent through a gateway to Husqvarna Fleet Services cloud data services. Husqvarna Fleet Services started in 2007 as an idea in the after sales department, primarily for RIIIHUDVHUYLFHWKDWKHOS&RPPHUFLDO/DZQDQG*DUGHQFXVWRPHUVPDQDJLQJWKHLUÁHHWRI +XVT- varna products.

Boosting product sales by services
While cultural issues were among the biggest internal hurdles to overcome, communicating the service's business model to potential customers became their biggest external problem. Was there a need for the service or did users want a different kind of music service. Did users like the service or did it need updates and new features.
A service like PlayNow plus needs to be available 99.9% of the time if its users are even considering using the service as their primary way of listening to music.
Deliver 24/7
They all follow the principles set out in the 2001 Agile Manifesto.* There are now many agile development methods. Scaling Agile is a concept that helps you spread and consolidate the agile philosophy throughout the organization to follow the Agile Manifesto which says that “our top priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software". Management must understand the agile values and make it necessary to implement the planned change.
There are three reasons why a company would want to go agile across the board.
The scaling objective (what we want to become) is in the theory
Scaling in the product domain, creating new products and services based on existing assets, usually means that the software architecture and supporting systems must adapt. Continuous delivery depends on a delivery pipeline - a series of steps that a product's source code must go through in order to be delivered. To consistently allow all changes that pass all tests to be deployed to customers requires a mature and stable team that embraces a culture of FRQÀGHQFHKXPLOLW\DQGFDSDELOLW\(YHU\WKLQJERLOVGRZQWRVRXQGPDQDJHPHQWWRHQHFRX) it is necessary to build such a culture of faith and the establishment of such a culture or culture.
