However, these diverse models are hard to compare, which hinders efficient collaboration and software process improvement on a European level. Process managers see a growing need for approaches that support stakeholder collaboration, systematic process mapping, and transformation of processes to improve their leverage in software process improvement. In this article we present the V-Modell XT (VM XT), a flexible software process model approach that has recently been announced as the standard for public-sector IT projects in Germany, as promising opportunity to help provide a unifying European software process model ‘umbrella’. On the basis of strengths of the VM XT, we suggest research directions for advanced support of software projects: (i) effective business value translation to engineering solutions that strengthens stakeholder collaboration, (ii) process mapping that enables collaboration in projects that have to reconcile several process models, and (iii) process ‘product lines’ to capture the variability of software processes on domain and company levels and thus systematically help investigate best-practice approaches to software construction. We discuss these concepts, the contribution of the VM XT, and conclude with next steps for research and validation.

Siakas, Bo Balstrup","doi":"10.1002/SPIP.275","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/SPIP.275","url":null,"abstract":"In today's rapidly changing and highly competitive global environment, offshore outsourcing (contracting of a portion or all of the software development function to software engineers outside the home country) teams working across national borders and virtual organisations have become a fact. The globalisation of the software market has also changed the contextual boundaries of information systems (IS) research and practices to include the wider societal context. Management experiences difficulties when applying traditional management approaches, because of the increased complexity of global organisations and their dependency on people with different underlying norms, values and beliefs. Researchers call for caution in managing global workers. They argue that behavioural traits of diverse work groups can contribute to dysfunctional organisations. Cultural sensitivity has become a core issue. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000This article discusses the implications of globalisation in software development and seeks to make more explicit the human dynamics that have a bearing on the success of outsourcing and virtual collaboration. Two models, namely, the e-Sourcing Capability Model for Service Providers (eSCM-SP) and the Software Quality Management—Cultural and Organisational Diversity Evaluation (SQM-CODE) Model, are proposed to bring added value for service purchasers in their search for, selection of and collaboration with service providers. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000The eSCM-SP, a capability maturity assessment model related to IT-enabled sourcing, is briefly discussed and the SQM-CODE model, a tool for assessing the fit between organisational and national culture, is presented, and its importance for identifying cultural factors and taking appropriate action in order to achieve a cultural fit between the service provider and the contractor in outsourcing business partnerships is revealed.

Practice shows that this opening is solely not enough to reach a breakthrough, since models became so complicated that they could only be applied with difficulties. The best catalysts of improvement programs are the mandatory rules being issued, mainly from the financial reporting area. The Sarbanes–Oxley Act (SOX) for US SEC registrants and its affiliates, and the 8th Directive on company Law in the EU require strict internal controls for reporting processes. In this article we concentrate on the successful application of these rules in a situation where IT-enabled services have a major effect on the compliance of the user organization. We investigate the effects of a high maturity level on compliance for both the service and the user organizations. The article refers to the applicability of the well-known capability models CMM and eSCM, and some other sources like COSO, BSC, and SAS 70. For presenting implementation practices of the general risk–based control model via key control processes, effectiveness measurement and innovative technologies were used, including the knowledge management platform created in earlier software process improvement experiments.

Motivation has been reported to be an important determinant of productivity and quality of work in many industries. In this article, we explore specifically how motivation impacts on development work in software engineering. We describe work previously done to suggest that software developers may have a different profile of motivators to other professionals. We present data collected from nine developers working in a software organisation that has been assessed at CMM level 5. We find that the developers working in this high maturity development environment are highly motivated. We also report relationships between motivation and progress in development work and describe the impact of motivating factors on specific aspects of software development. Our main conclusion is that good software developers are proactive, flexible and adaptable, prepared to share knowledge with team and follow good practice, for example, documenting work. Also, and in particular reference to this high maturity company, good software developers are able to resolve complex problems, innovative and eager to try new technology. The biggest motivators to such performance in a high maturity organisation are pay and benefits, recognition and opportunities for achievement. These are closely followed by technically challenging work, job security and senior management support. Cost, time, product quality — in terms of reliability — and user satisfaction are all moderately good indicators of project success. User satisfaction, however, is the best indicator of all four as its importance assumes a temporal significance as a project progresses. Finally, we found that technical competency, interpersonal skills and adherence to good practices impact favourably on software project success.

This approach is a key success factor in the industry because process improvement without regard to product innovation would in the long term only stabilise the productions in existing cash cows, but would not unleash any new product ideas or concepts. However, new product concepts are necessary to win a competitive advantage in the market. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Here, a case study based on ISO 15504 concerning process improvements is discussed. Concerning innovation skills and processes, the case studies discussed are based on the results of three former projects as follows: (a) CREDIT (MM 1032, 1998–2001), developing a multi-user Intranet/Internet-based assessment platform for skills and process assessments, (b) ORGANIC (Leonardo da Vinci, 2003–2006), developing a training program for required skills in innovation management, and (c) SOQRATES (originally Bavarian state funded in 2003 and later funded by a group of leading firms in central Europe), comprising task forces shared across companies to exchange process improvement knowledge and jointly collaborate on synergies and improvements.
