BackgroundProblem Issues within Chinese Software Industry A Solution for Software Process Management A Toolkit for Software Process Management Application in China Conclusion


BackgroundBackground

Software is becoming so pervasive and quality problem is increasing exponentiallyThe basic problem is to ensure the software development under the cost control, schedule prediction and quality achievement From 1980s, the software process technology began to attract people’s attention. The objective of software process management is institutionalizing the activities of software development with process method to solve the basic problem


Problem Issues within Chinese Software Industry Problem Issues within Chinese Software Industry -- 11

Grow rapidly2003 China,

IT product annual sale is 1880 billion, ranked the third in the world.

Software Product is 160 billion , increase 45.45% , 2.5% from globe software products sale. more than 8700 software companies and more than 620 thousands software practitioners in China.



Supported by governmentSeveral supportive policies has been enacted Various funds has been established By 2004, some very advantageous environment for the rapid development of software industry has been provided

11 national software industry bases, 6 national software export bases that have got approved.8 863-software incubators are sponsored by Chinese MOST



Developing also in initial stagemanagement and technique in an ad hoc style. haven’t established the formal and appropriate process management systemMany software organizations which deployed CMM or CMMI did not get benefit from it in deed.Reason is various, but the lack of methodology and technology for supporting the application of CMM/CMMI and similar standards is the bottleneck-How to apply these appropriate



Needed urgentlySoftware process theory concept and primary principle should be taught and spreadTotal solution to integrated technology enhancement and process improvementEffective supporting tools and application practices


A Solution for Software Process ManagementA Solution for Software Process Management

ISCAS presents a solution for software process management

Integrates the management, technique and people

Platform for Quality Management – PQMPlatform for Product Engineering – PPEPlatform for Service Supporting – PSS

Obeys the concept of Total Quality Management (TQM)

Depending on measurementDepending on measurement

Measurement is one of the essential element of software processesEffective measurement can be used to

Identify, analyze, and solve the problems arising during the development processEvaluate and improve the capability maturity of processes,Predict the quality of process products


Supporting continual process improvementSupporting continual process improvement

Organize all the activities based on PDCAGenerate the appropriate quality system based on the need of business mission of organizations, such as CMMI

A Toolkit for Software Process ManagementA Toolkit for Software Process Management

Based on the solution, ISCAS develop a toolkit called SoftPM. SoftPM is a integrated system to involve stakeholder work together

share the collected data with respective visionunderstand the schedule, effort and quality of projectcommunicate effectively


Example Example –– Platform for Quality Management Platform for Quality Management

Project Management Process Asset LibrarySoftware Quality Assurance Measurement and Analysis


Project management Project management -- FunctionsFunctions

Project Planningtop-down plan and task decomposition and dynamic resource allocation

Project TrackingSupports bottom-up project tracking and monitoring.

Project Measurement and AnalysisGraphically presents project cost and schedule data analysisCentrally manages project data to support process improveme

Problem/Risk ManagementRecords, analyzes and tracks problems found in reviews, audits or other quality activitiesRecords and manages risk descriptions, probabilities, impacts and mitigation or avoidance strategies identified throughout the project

Multi Project ManagementManages multi-project development and resource allocation, providing warnings when resources become over-allocated.


Projects management Projects management -- InterfaceInterface


Project managementProject management--FeaturesFeatures

Improves Management EfficiencyEases time consuming tracking and data analysis activities.Supports stepwise resource optimization.Gathers Quality Data to reduce project management overhead, improve work efficiency and enable more effective communication.

Simple and Easy to UseSolves core problems related to critical project management issues.Provides a friendly user interface.


Process Asset Library Process Asset Library -- FunctionsFunctions

Standard Process ManagementProvides a graphical tool to help organizations define, maintain and use their organizational standard software process. Evaluates organizational process performance as described in theCMM®/CMMI®Measures process usage and stability to assist in planning for continuous process improvement.

Documentation ManagementSupports defining, establishing, maintaining and using process and project documents

Process Data ManagementSupports establishing, analyzing and improving process performance baselines.Provides analysis of historical data to assist in improvement decisions.

Project AssetsSupports archiving and reuse of past project documents and data such as estimates, summary reports etc.


Process Asset LibraryProcess Asset Library--InterfaceInterface


Process Asset LibraryProcess Asset Library--FeaturesFeatures

Graphically defines the organizations’ standard process.
