Developing Agile Product Ownership Models for Digital Transformation in Energy Infrastructure Programs
Abstract
The digital transformation of energy infrastructure programs presents both unprecedented opportunities and substantial governance challenges. Traditional project delivery models often struggle to accommodate the iterative development cycles, stakeholder complexity, and compliance demands characteristic of these large-scale systems. This paper proposes a set of agile product ownership models tailored to the unique demands of energy infrastructure, drawing on theoretical insights from Agile principles, systems thinking, and organizational design. The models developed—namely the role-based ownership model, the collaborative ownership model, and the scaled product ownership model—provide structured yet flexible frameworks to enhance decision-making, stakeholder alignment, and value delivery. Each model addresses specific organizational conditions and governance requirements, enabling energy programs to navigate the tensions between agility and control better. The study emphasizes the need to adapt Agile practices rather than adopt them wholesale, advocating for ownership structures that are context-sensitive and functionally distributed. The paper concludes by outlining theoretical limitations and proposing directions for future empirical research to validate and refine these conceptual models.
