  1. CEN 4021 Class 15 – 03/02 Organization of Process Review Class 14 Processes Standards Process Map Configuration Management Introduction and Education

  2. Recruiting and Hiring S/w Personnel • Once the organizational positions are outlined, the s/w project management needs to fill open positions. • The actual hiring of the employees starts with having a clear definition of the open position in terms of the skills, training, and character of the candidates required for each position. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  3. Recruiting and Hiring S/w Personnel Recruiting: • The HR department should be provided with the specifics for each open position . • The initial screening of the applicants may be performed by professional recruiters or by the personnel department. • Spmr should prepare the recruiters of what is expected in each position i.e. go over the specific needs. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  4. Recruiting and Hiring S/w Personnel Hiring: • The actual interview may take place in several stages i.e., phone conversation, conference call, off site interview, on site interview. • Spmr and members of the interview team should listen to the candidate and assess that person’s qualifications, specific skills and personal traits. • What are some of the potential questions during the interview? • If the spmr decides to conduct a second round of interviews, then the candidate should be someone the spmr is willing to hire. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  5. Recruiting and Hiring S/w Personnel Hiring cont: • If the parties are interested after the follow-up interview an offer should be made. • The immediate offer is often made verbally for those companies that require drug or other substance clearances before final hiring. • The offer letter should contain: • Description of the position • Brief description of the tasks • The total compensation package, including a reference to any documents that explain the details CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  6. Recruiting and Hiring S/w Personnel Bringing people on board: • Once the candidate accepts the offer, the spmr needs to prepare for that person to be brought on board to the project as smoothly as possible. • What are the items needed before the arrival of the new employee? • Spmr need to prepare the other team members for the arrival of a new employee. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  7. Processes • In addition to hiring new employees, other new resources necessary for the s/w project must be considered, acquired, established, and installed during the organizing phase. • The process used to develop the s/w must be clearly defined. That is, the process must be tailored depending on some of the following: • The size and complexity of the project based on the deliverables • The maturity of the organization CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  8. Processes cont • The history of the working relationships of the people • The size of the organization • The goals of the s/w project • Many spmrs refer to the definitions and guidelines from ISO 9000, S/w Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination (SPICE), or the Software Engineering Institute’s (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM) CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  9. Processes cont ISO 9000 • Includes 146 countries HQ in Geneva • Mission – to promote the widespread adoption of international standards, most of which are highly specific to particular products. • Most widely successful family of standards • ISO 9001 specifically addresses the development, supply, installation, and maintenance of computer s/w. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  10. Processes cont ISO 9000 • ISO 9000-3 specifies quality management and quality assurance issues and describes how these quality aspects apply to ISO 9001 for s/w. SPICE • An initiative to support the development of international standards for s/w process assessment. • Has 3 specific goals: CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  11. Processes cont SPICE cont • Has 3 specific goals: • To develop a working draft for a standard for s/w process improvement. • To conduct industry trials of emerging standards. • To promote technology transfer to s/w process assessment into the worldwide s/w industry. • The working draft was completed in 1995 • There are five technical centers around the world including the SEI in US. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  12. Processes cont CMM • Purpose is to promote the assessment of an organization’s s/w process maturity. • Does not address the complete s/w product cycle-specifically, issues related to s/w support, service, and maintenance. • SEI has developed a new model CMMI (I – integration) which is built on and extends the best practices of 3 other models. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  13. Processes cont CMM cont • CMM for S/w (CMM-SW) • Systems Engineering Capability Model SECM, • Integrated Product Development CMM (IPD-CMM) -------------//------------ • Whatever s/w process is chosen, it must be communicated to the entire project organization, and the project team must be properly disposed to follow the process. • Spm needs to ensure that the various methodologies which are to be used are established, communicated and implemented. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  14. Processes cont Process Map • There is a need to map the overall process to clearly list the activities carried out with in each step, and to explain any relationships among the steps. See next slide: Fig. 7.1 P. 146. • Diagram: • For waterfall-like process • Arrows show the flow of activities. • Dotted arrows indicate the potential for backward flow. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  15. Project Management Initial Reqs. and Business case Reqs. Gathering and Specs. Product Design System Packaging and Release Coding and Unit Testing Test Scenario and Test Script Development Functional and Component Tests System and Release Tests Fig. 7.1 Overall Project Process Map Information and Publications Material Development Information Printing or Loading And Release Configuration Management CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  16. Processes cont Process Map cont • The conditions for the successful completion or the exit criteria of a step, which allow the work flow to continue to the next step, need to be provided as a companion to the process map. • Typical exit criteria from the design process: • All the functional and nonfunctional reqs. are designed including the following: • The user interfaces and workflow • The systems and communication interfaces • Database and file structure • Special constraints: performance, security, backup/recovery, etc. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  17. Processes cont Process Map cont • Typical exit criteria from the design process cont: • All of the design is documented and represented in the preciously specified format and language. • The design document is stored in a configuration management tool. • The design document is reviewed and all errors found have been fixed and captured in the updated design document. • The defined exit criteria for the process steps provide a management and a team approach to controlling the flow of activities. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  18. Processes cont Process Map cont • Note there may be overlap in the activities especially from teams that are facing schedule pressure such as the coding team. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02

  19. Processes cont H.W. Create an overall project process map for the USDP using the diagrams in the handout. CEN 4021 Class 15 - 03/02
