Abstract

As a consequence of volatile markets and agile development processes, products and organizational structures have become increasingly complex. Modeling and analyzing complex products and organizations via matrices and graphs are useful ways to handle this complexity. This paper combines approaches for modeling products and organizational structures with matrices on the one hand. On the other hand, graph-based methods for analyzing the dependencies within as well as between the product and organization domain are described. Combining these domains gives the possibility to improve the overall development process by minimizing iterations and by adjusting the organizational to the product structure.
