This is the
description of the sample scenario we used for the presentation
of our first prototypes that were developed for the Review at
the DC Jamboree on October 18-19, 2001 in Zürich.
It is an example of a larger collection of scenarios and so called
"Bits of Life" that we developed in the first part of
the project. See also "user requirements". We are currently
extending the range of scenarios to cover additional situations
and user requirements.
Sample
Scenario
In the
future, employees might no longer be permanently organized and
assigned to defined departments of their organisation. Temporary
teams will be created on demand in order to work on projects for
a specified time. Projects will be announced at an open "marketplace"
where potential project managers can bid for them. Once a project
is obtained, the assigned project manager will announce the type
of qualifications he will need in order to carry out the project.
He will search for people who would meet the requirements in order
to have the right mix of qualifications assembled in the project.
Complementing this "marketplace of projects", there
is also a "marketplace of skills" where people can offer
their competencies and project managers can search for these people.
