Book Software Processes and Life Cycle Models

Download or read book Software Processes and Life Cycle Models written by Ralf Kneuper and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-24 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of software processes, covering in particular the following essential topics: software process modelling, software process and lifecycle models, software process management, deployment and governance, and software process improvement (including assessment and measurement). It does not propose any new processes or methods; rather, it introduces students and software engineers to software processes and life cycle models, covering the different types ranging from “classical”, plan-driven via hybrid to agile approaches. The book is structured as follows: In chapter 1, the fundamentals of the topic are introduced: the basic concepts, a historical overview, and the terminology used. Next, chapter 2 covers the various approaches to modelling software processes and lifecycle models, before chapter 3 discusses the contents of these models, addressing plan-driven, agile and hybrid approaches. The following three chapters address various aspects of using software processes and lifecycle models within organisations, and consider the management of these processes, their assessment and improvement, and the measurement of both software and software processes. Working with software processes normally involves various tools, which are the focus of chapter 7, before a look at current trends in software processes in chapter 8 rounds out the book. This book is mainly intended for graduate students and practicing professionals. It can be used as a textbook for courses and lectures, for self-study, and as a reference guide. When used as a textbook, it may support courses and lectures on software processes, or be used as complementary literature for more basic courses, such as introductory courses on software engineering or project management. To this end, it includes a wealth of examples and case studies, and each chapter is complemented by exercises that help readers gain a better command of the concepts discussed.

Book ITSM Process Assessment Supporting ITIL  TIPA

Download or read book ITSM Process Assessment Supporting ITIL TIPA written by Béatrix Barafort and published by Van Haren. This book was released on 1970-01-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key to any successful IT Service Management solution are strong, clear processes that are fit for purpose. The continual cycle of service improvements must therefore look at the existing processes and assess how effective they are within changing business requirements. This innovative title not only looks at this fundamental process assessment, it does it using the key ISO/IEC standard in this area. In brief, this title explains the meeting between two standards: ITIL: the de facto standard in IT Service Management. ISO/IEC 15504 Information technology - Process assessment Readers can therefore be confident of a strong, well-thought out and solid approach which will help identify: The concepts of process assessment and process maturity How to plan and perform a process assessment How to use the approach How to launch an improvement process starting with an assessment project Because it focuses on 10 key processes the TIPA framework can be applied with equal success to ITILv2, ITIL v3 or to the ISO/IEC 20000. This manual will also convey valuable information for understanding the roles and differences between: process assessment, traditional conformity assessment, audit and self-assessment suite. Finally, it is illustrated with real-life case studies, which highlight what should be done and what should be avoided. The reader will thus learn process assessment based on genuine experiences.

Book IT Capability Maturity FrameworkTM  IT CMFTM  2nd edition

Download or read book IT Capability Maturity FrameworkTM IT CMFTM 2nd edition written by Jim Kenneally and published by Van Haren. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business organizations, both public and private, are constantly challenged to innovate and generate real value. CIOs are uniquely well-positioned to seize this opportunity and adopt the role of business transformation partner, helping their organizations to grow and prosper with innovative, IT-enabled products, services and processes. To succeed in this, however, the IT function needs to manage an array of inter-related and inter-dependent disciplines focused on the generation of business value. In response to this need, the Innovation Value Institute, a cross-industry international consortium, developed the IT Capability Maturity FrameworkTM (IT-CMFTM). This second edition of the IT Capability Maturity FrameworkTM (IT-CMFTM) is a comprehensive suite of tried and tested practices, organizational assessment approaches, and improvement roadmaps covering key IT capabilities needed to optimize value and innovation in the IT function and the wider organization. It enables organizations to devise more robust strategies, make better-informed decisions, and perform more effectively, efficiently and consistently. IT-CMF is: • An integrated management toolkit covering 36 key capability management disciplines, with organizational maturity profiles, assessment methods, and improvement roadmaps for each. • A coherent set of concepts and principles, expressed in business language, that can be used to guide discussions on setting goals and evaluating performance. • A unifying (or umbrella) framework that complements other, domain-specific frameworks already in use in the organization, helping to resolve conflicts between them, and filling gaps in their coverage. • Industry/sector and vendor independent. IT-CMF can be used in any organizational context to guide performance improvement. • A rigorously developed approach, underpinned by the principles of Open Innovation and guided by the Design Science Research methodology, synthesizing leading academic research with industry practitioner expertise ‘IT-CMF provides us with a structured and systematic approach to identify the capabilities we need, a way to assess our strengths and weaknesses, and clear pathways to improve our performance.’ Suresh Kumar, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer, BNY Mellon ‘To successfully respond to competitive forces, organizations need to continually review and evolve their existing IT practices, processes, and cultural norms across the entire organization. IT-CMF provides a structured framework for them to do that.’ Christian Morales, Corporate Vice President and General Manager EMEA, Intel Corporation ‘We have successfully applied IT-CMF in over 200 assignments for clients. It just works. Or, as our clients confirm, it helps them create more value from IT.’ Ralf Dreischmeier, Senior Partner and Managing Director, The Boston Consulting Group ‘By using IT-CMF, business leaders can make sure that the tremendous potential of information technology is realized in their organizations.’ Professor Philip Nolan, President, Maynooth University ‘I believe IT-CMF to be comprehensive and credible. Using the framework helps organizations to objectively identify and confirm priorities as the basis for driving improvements.’ Dr Colin Ashurst, Senior Lecturer and Director of Innovation, Newcastle University Business School
