Abstract

Software process improvement (SPI) is one of the main software development challenges. Unfortunately, process descriptions generally do not correspond to the processes actually performed during software development projects. They just represent high-level plans and do not contain the information necessary for the concrete software projects. This deficient alignment between the process and project is caused by processes that are unrelated to project activities and failure in detecting project changes to improve the process. Process and project alignment is essential to really find out how process management is important to achieve an organization's strategic objectives. Considering this approach, this paper presents a comparative study of some of the most recognized SPI approaches and a new software process improvement methodology proposed, designed by Process and Project Alignment Methodology (ProPAM). Our intention is to show the problems observed in existing SPI approach and recognize that further research in process and project alignment based on actor oriented approaches is required.

SPI方法与ProPAM的比较研究

软件过程改进(SPI)是软件开发的主要挑战之一。不幸的是，过程描述通常与软件开发项目中实际执行的过程不一致。它们只是表示高级计划，并不包含具体软件项目所需的信息。过程和项目之间缺乏一致性是由与项目活动无关的过程和检测项目变更以改进过程的失败造成的。过程和项目的一致性对于真正发现过程管理对于实现组织的战略目标是多么重要是必不可少的。考虑到这种方法，本文提出了一些最公认的SPI方法和一种新的软件过程改进方法的比较研究，该方法由过程和项目对齐方法(proam)设计。我们的目的是展示在现有SPI方法中观察到的问题，并认识到需要进一步研究基于面向参与者的方法的过程和项目一致性。
