This was the first time a business school submission was funded under the ITEA2 funding scheme. The project expanded the GAIA project above, allowing the staff funded on that to integrate into a European network of 38 industry and research partners (see below), exchanging research expertise, data, findings, as well as industry best practices. The goals of the FLEXI project were (i) to improve the innovation capabilities of European software intensive industry through agility, decision making tools and partnering; (ii) to deliver business and product flexibility by establishing efficient partner ecosystems; (iii) to scale up agile product development in large, multi-site and global settings; and (iv) to enable smooth integration of complex systems and products in order to save costs and calendar time. The Irish component of the project delivered, among many other artefacts, an agile assessment framework, 55 publications including 22 journal papers and 33 conference papers.
