Description
Design Science Research (DSR) provides a rich body of frameworks, approaches, and methods to support researchers in conducting DSR projects. However, there is little support and guidance for effectively managing and documenting DSR processes. In this article, we present a prototypical implementation of a conversational agent called “DSR Buddy” that is integrated into the publicly available MyDesingProcess.com platform. DSR Buddy aims to decrease efforts of DSR project documentation and increase benefits for researchers by providing intuitive DSR activity documentation support. We present an initial set of design features that we have implemented in the form of the DSR Buddy. Additionally, we illustrate the potential of our prototypical implementation by applying it to an exemplary DSR project.
