Abstract
This paper investigates CSCW aspects of large-scale technical projects based on a case study of a specific Danish engineering company and uncovers challenges to CSCW applications in this setting. The company is responsible for management and supervision of one of the worlds largest tunnelhidge construction projects. Our primary aim is to determine requirements on CSCW as they unfold in this concrete setting as opposed to survey and laboratory investigations.

Why CSCW applications fail: problems in the design and evaluationof organizational interfaces
958 Citations1988Jonathan Grudin
Examination of several application areas reveals a common dynamic: a factor contributing to the application’s failure is the disparity between those who will benefit from an application and those who must do additional work to support it.
Communications of the ACMDesigning for cooperation: cooperating in design
228 Citations1991Morten Kyng
This article will discuss how to design computer applications that enhance the quality of work and products, and will relate the discussion to current themes in the field of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW).
Elsevier eBooksCooperative Design: Techniques and Experiences From the Scandinavian Scene
204 Citations1995Susanne Bφdker, Kaj Grφnbæk +1 more
This chapter discusses the concept of cooperative design, a process where users and designers do not have to wait until the final act to know if the application will fit the practice of the users.
