Abstract

The role of Systems and Product Architects is increasingly important for the development of modern products and services that are sustainable, innovative, and successful. This paper shows that competences in integration in product and systems design have to be a key part of these architect’s competence profiles. Capitalizing on results from extensive research in the optimization of product development, it points out that the integration of all stakeholders from the earliest development phases is a fundamental need to be able to take into account all requirements and constraints imposed on both hardware and software products and systems. It draws the conclusion that the key stakeholders in product and system development processes need to have skills that enable this way of doing integrated development.
