1.
Motivation, whose purpose is to convince you that the rest of the book is worth reading.
2.
Project Planning Process, whose purpose is to provide you with practical guidance for effectively planning software systems development work.
3.
Software Systems Development Process, whose purpose is to (1) define principles for putting together a software systems development process that breeds success and (2) illustrate these principles by defining a top-level process that you can use to formulate a process for your environment.
4.
Change Control Process, whose purpose is to define change control board (CCB) mechanics and provide you with practical guidance for setting up a CCB for your software systems development process.
5.
Product and Process Reviews, whose purpose is to describe basic processes associated with the various reviews called out in Chapter 3 as a means for reducing software systems development risk.
6.
Measurement, whose purpose is to provide you with practical guidance for measuring the "goodness" of products and the "goodness" of the software systems development process that produced the products; the focus is on how to use measurement to achieve consistent product and process "goodness."
7.
Cultural Change, whose purpose is to address human issues bearing on bringing about organizational cultural change during implementation of your systems engineering environment (SEE).
8.
Process Improvement Planning, whose purpose is to provide practical guidance on how to write an SEE implementation plan to establish the framework for doing the things discussed in the preceding chapters.
Table P-1 highlights what you will learn from each chapter. To help you extract each chapter's messages and subsequently apply its concepts, we condense each chapter's key points (except Chapter 1) into what we label "nuggets." In general, the material is organized to help you extract what you need. The book's approximately 240 figures aim at highlighting essential points. In these figures, we communicate ideas through icons to facilitate information retrieval and assimilation.
We also include worked-out examples containing sufficient detail so that you can adapt the concepts illustrated to your organization. For instance, in Chapter 6, we address measurement. We focus on two metrics that we call "product integrity index" and "process integrity index." We give general formulas for these indexes. We show you how to set up value scales for these indexes in terms that make sense to your organization. Through detailed, worked-out examples, we show you how to calculate these indexes. F inally, we explain what these numbers mean.
At the end of the book, we include an annotated bibliography. Most of the bibliographic entries have been selected because of their practitioner bent. This bibliography is intended to (1) point you to alternative treatments of topics that we discuss, (2) help you gain greater insight into topics that we address, and (3) help you pursue topics that we only touch upon that may be of greater interest to you.
The book's central concept for housing an organization's development processes is the systems engineering environment (SEE). The SEE consists of the following two complementary components:
An application development process environment (ADPE) and An application development technology environment (ADTE).
The ADPE is that set of policies, guidelines, procedures, and standards defining an organization's way of doing business. These entities we call "ADPE elements." The ADTE is that set of technologies (e.g., personal computers, networks, CASE tools) used to develop th
