In addition to reported benefits experienced by the companies, the Innovation Checks have given us extensive knowledge of the companies' difficulties in having success with innovation in relation to the following five topics: product, processes, production, eBusiness (use of IT for business proposes), and marketing. \u0000 \u0000This paper presents the method behind the Innovation Checks and conclusions reached from this important project carried out in cooperation with the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI). \u0000 \u0000The main conclusions are: \u0000Companies don't have the necessary time to invest in innovation. \u0000Companies lack a business strategy that includes innovation. \u0000Without the time and focus, innovation will be ad-hoc rather than a mastered discipline. \u0000An Innovation Check does help companies with innovation here and now, but without a mastered innovation process it is likely to become a one-off event. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000This paper presents our experience from data and observations collected during the Innovation Checks. As the population is fairly small (46 companies) (Figure 1) the results are to be taken as observations and guidelines rather than scientific facts.

In parallel the topic ‘Functional Safety’ became important due to changes in liability law and the development of IEC 61508 as an application and branch independent standard for functional safety. As a result, ISO WD 26262 a ISO draft for functional safety has been initiated classifying systems with ASIL (automotive safety integrity levels) levels and requiring additional processes, techniques, and methods to illustrate the competence for managing systems that have an impact on the loss of lives. \u0000 \u0000An Automotive SPICE assessment usually takes (for the processes defined in the scope of the German automotive manufacturing association) 4 days per project. Adding the scope of a safety assessment this dramatically increases the number of hours used in assessments. In a working group of major automotive suppliers and assessment tool suppliers, we developed from 2005 to 2009 an integrated assessment approach. Portals in the above-mentioned automotive suppliers already use this environment. \u0000 \u0000The working group that elaborated the methods and tools described in this paper are part of the SOQRATES initiative () where more than 20 leading German firms collaborate in cross-company task forces. \u0000 \u0000In this paper, we want to explain the results of the analysis done, the assessment model applied, and what kind of reports the integrated assessment environment is producing. The results of all work (except of the proprietary assessment tools) will be made public to all suppliers in 2009.

These ten factors have been utilised as the basis for the development of the GSD Implementation Model. The objective of the creation and presentation of this model is to provide a practical and systematic approach to address the key activities, infrastructure and support which are required to facilitate effective distributed software development. This approach is inspired by the IDEALsm model and divided into five specific phases which are classified as Initiating, Provisioning, Establishing, Managing and Leveraging. The goal of the Initiating phase is to clearly determine why, if and how the distributed development strategy is to be selected and undertaken. The implementation of the Provisioning phase is to ensure that the required infrastructure, processes and support to facilitate successful distributed software development are identified and put in place. The focus of the Establishing phase is to ensure that the development teams are effectively established. The Managing phase addresses the day-to-day requirements of operating efficiently in a distributed environment. The Leveraging phase concentrates on the need to ensure that the structures and procedures are in place so that lessons learned can be documented and leveraged in existing and future projects.

However, GSD is fraught with challenges arising from geographical, temporal and socio-cultural distances. The emphasis in the literature to date has typically been on how to overcome the challenges associated with GSD. While a number of GSD benefits have been widely referred to in the literature, there are also a number of less obvious benefits that can be inferred as potentially accruing from GSD. In this article, we identify the various benefits of GSD, labeling them as ‘referred’ and ‘inferred’, respectively. We provide a categorization in terms of (a) organizational, (b) team and (c) process-task. While the ‘referred’ benefits most often apply at the organizational level (e.g. cost savings, access to large multi-skilled workforces, reduced time to market and proximity to customer), the ‘inferred’ benefits apply to a greater extent at team and process-task level (e.g. task modularization, team autonomy, improved documentation and clearly defined processes). In the decision of whether or not to globalize software development activities, a categorization including both ‘referred’ and ‘inferred’ benefits will be helpful in providing a synthesis of all potential benefits associated with GSD.

However, how to quantitatively manage iterative projects, and in particular, how to quantitatively manage defects across multiple iterations, remains a challenging issue. In this article, we identify three main challenges of quantitative defects management in iterative development in a leading Chinese telecommunications company (named ZZNode). The three challenges are: identifying appropriate ‘control points’ in each iteration, selecting appropriate measures and corresponding measurement methods, and determining the ‘sweet spot’ amount of effort for performing testing and defect-fixing activities. We propose a process performance Baselines based iteration Defects management (BiDefect) method to address the three challenges. We also report an industrial experience where several iterative development projects of ZZNode successfully applied the BiDefect method in initial estimating, analyzing, re-estimating, and controlling number of defects and defect detecting-fixing effort. In addition, we provide the evaluation of using BiDefect method, and discuss the benefits and lessons learned from BiDefect and its application.
