Seminar Lecture - Prof. Stefan Biffl - Product-Focused Engineering, Process Analysis and Improvement

18 Apr 2014   09:30-11:00

Seminar Lecture
Product-Focused Engineering Process Analysis and Improvement

Abstract
Product-focused process improvement aims at translating stakeholder value from products into better cost, quality, or schedule of software and systems engineering processes. Software improvement approaches contribute to a systematic appraisal of software and service processes for identifying candidate topics for improvement.
This talk will raise the challenge of process improvement in engineering organizations in identifying and securing the mission-critical engineering know-how needed for successful product development. Based on experiences with software and systems engineering organizations we will discuss contributions and limitations of software improvement approaches to elicit stakeholder interests, to collect and integrate data from engineering teams and processes, in order to identify the most relevant candidates for capturing and sharing engineering know-how on best practices in the context of an organization.
