This tutorial covers AKA area #2 of the International Software Process Improvement Certification (ISPIC) requirements.
Too often software process improvement efforts produce un-integrated collections of processes and procedures that each try to optimize some aspect of software development, but as a whole actually reduce software quality. In this tutorial we focus on fine tuning and customizing an entire software development lifecycle on the goal of delivering quality to the stakeholders.
The attendee will
- Understand quality from the stakeholders point of view
- Be able to configure the appropriate process, given
- a specific set of objectives
- project characteristics
- corporate characteristics, and
- team environment
- Design support activities that will maximize value to the stakeholders
- Goals of Software Development
- Lifecycle models
- Waterfall
- Iterative/incremental

- Inception
- Elaboration
- Construction
- Transition
- Agile
- Incremental delivery
- Stakeholder resistance and costs
- Parallel systems
- Updating methods
- Support
- How support effects quality
- Support Models
- Support Tools
