Virtual Sea Trial
Agile Project and Business Models
Benefits Realization
The goal is to streamline the commissioning process by defining new agile work processes and benefits-sharing schemes. Guidelines for information exchange, specifications, and collaboration among the shipbuilding ecosystem are
established, and benefits are evaluated.
Hybrid project models
Left shifting of testing activities enabled by virtual commissioning approaches will require changes in the business processes and data exchange between the parties in a ship project.
Benefits realization
Harnessing the benefits of virtual commission is likely to require changes in the business models among the involved parties.
Hybrid business processes
There is a need for developing hybrid project management models that combine agile methods with the conventional sequential ship building activities.
Roadmap to virtual commissioning
It is important to outline roadmaps for how and when the virtual commissioning methods and models will be implemented throughout the shipbuilding ecosystem, and how and when the different benefits will be harvested.
