Common Struggles • Overextended and no clear description of what process to improve • Little or no management visibility into progress • Inconsistent delivery to customers • Duplicate efforts among numerous teams • Lack of user input/feedback in decision making • No way to enforce/implement best practices • Poor Morale - overly bureaucratic or lack of ownership
Why Process Matters • Collectively document procedures of how things should be done • Organization vs. personal perspective • Removes repetition in decision making and work tasks • Provides a baseline for management and measurement • Consistency and transparency • Collaboration vs. working individually
The Process Management Premise (Taken from CMMI) • The quality of a system is highly influenced by the quality of the process used to acquire, develop, and maintain it.
How do we create good processes? • Understand organizational readiness to improve • Continually evaluate current situation • Implement and integrate IT processes using TechExcel ServiceWise
