70 years ago a new approach and methodology called 'sociotechnical' was developed and years of action research around the world followed to find ways to get the best out of both the technology and the people doing the work. The principles defined then seems very similar to the agile manifesto, both focusing on worker participation and self-organising teams, but there are elements from the sociotechnical systems thinking that will benefit the agile movement, with its holistic perspective that includes all the parts, be it stakeholders, products, technologies, way of work, and employees. A modern version of sociotechnical systems design maybe just what organizations need in order to cope in the increasingly complex and hazardous “digital coal mines.

Trond is an IT architect and aspiring sociotechnical systems designer from the consulting firm Scienta.no and has many years experience with large, complex, and business critical systems, primarily as a developer and architect on middleware and backend applications. His main interests are service-orientation, domain-driven design, event driven architectures, and sociotechnical systems, working in industries like telecom, media, TV, and public sector. Mantra: Great products emerge from collaborative sensemaking and design.
