This seems very software focused and in my experience doesn't really apply to e.g. an engineering company.
Completely missing is e.g. simulation or in general evaluation of designs. In my experience teams also do multiple tasks, e.g. when you are doing simulations you also have to look at how the simulation can be improved or whether repetitive simulation tasks can be automated. Nobody besides your team could do do this research on new methods, simply because nobody else really understands your tasks and activities.
- slowking2 2y agoAgreed. I work in medical device engineering, and >50% of our time relates to simulation in some way. A big part of our responsibilities is designing, implementing, or reimplementing models of various subsystems relevant to our devices so we can do preliminary estimates of safety or efficacy. Analyzing real world outcomes is also important, although I haven't been at the company long enough yet for that to catch up with simulation in terms of how much time we spend on it. I'd say the closest description to us in the article is the practical research team. We have fairly clear business goals we are fulfilling with our work.
