2 3 Motivation [SPI (Software Process Improvement] has become a driving force in the global software industry. [however the majors SPI] approaches today are considered competitors. In reality they are all based on very similar concepts and techniques. The packaging obscures the underlying principles. Eliciting and refining underlying principles is the role of science [David Card, in a panel on Research Directions in Software Process Improvement (SPI), proc. Of the 28th IEEE International COMPSAC Conference, pp , Hong Kong, China,2004] 4 CenPRA, Clenio F. Salviano,

3 Objective Introduce a set of (named Geraes) as a proposal underlying principles of Process Capability Models that are a relevant part of SPI (now redefined as Software and System Process Improvement) as part of an ongoing research effort towards a Model-Driven Process Capability Engineering for Knowledge Working Intensive Organizations (MDPEK) evolution of the current SPI area [Salviano 2008] [Salviano and Jino 2006] 5 6 CenPRA, Clenio F.

4 Research Goal Main goal: be a useful proposal underling basic concepts of Process Capability Models (in current version relevant models are: CMMI-DEV and ISO/IEC ) Unfolded objective goals: Goal G1: generalize and unify the structure of relevant models. Goal G2: has fewer, more generic and more flexible key basic concepts than the relevant models. Goal G3: supports the mapping and unification of the elements of relevant models. Goal G4: supports a hierarchy of elements and represents the leaf elements with more similar granularity, than the correspondent elements of relevant models. Goal G5: supports the definition of process capability profiles with any combination among the elements of available models, reusing elements, preserving the original relevant models and without the need to create new models. 7 8 CenPRA, Clenio F.

7 Evaluation against the Research Goal Main goal: be a useful proposal underling basic concepts of Process Capability Models (in current version relevant models are: CMMI-DEV and ISO/IEC ) Unfolded objective goals: Goal G1: generalize and unify the structure of relevant models. Goal G2: has fewer, more generic and more flexible key basic concepts than the relevant models. Goal G3: supports the mapping and unification of the elements of relevant models. Goal G4: supports a hierarchy of elements and represents the leaf elements with more similar granularity, than the correspondent elements of relevant models. Goal G5: supports the definition of process capability profiles with any combination among the elements of available models, reusing elements, preserving the original relevant models and without the need to create new models. G1: the modeling of relevant models. G2: the number of key concepts (see next slide) G3: the description of how the key elements of current models are modeled. G4: analysis of what elements from current models are modeled as ProcessCapabilityAreaLeaf and ProcessCapabilityLevelLeaf G5: the class ProcessCapabilityModelElem ents as a collection of all elements 13 Evaluation of Goal G2: Geraes has fewer, more generic and more flexible key basic concepts than the relevant models CMMI Process area category Process area Specific goal Geraes Process Capability Area ISO/IEC Process category Process group Process Process capability level Generic goal Process Capability Level Process capability level Process attribute Maturity level Capability profile Process area capability profile Process Area Capability Profile Process Capability Area Process capability profile Individual process capability profile 14 CenPRA, Clenio F.

8 15 Related Work Many work to mappings, comparisons and harmonization: icmm and MR-MPS models combine elements from a CMMI model and ISO/IEC model Reasoning framework for harmonizing process improvement efforts when multiple improvement technologies and models are in use [Siviy and Kirwan] 16 CenPRA, Clenio F. Salviano,

9 Future Work Support the concepts of other models: escm-sp, OPM3, COBIT, ITIL, MR-MPS, COMPETISOFT, ISO 9001, PMBOK, EFQM and SWEBOK Consolidation of the as a complete formal specification and implementation Process Capability Profile Metamodel in order to define a consensual agreement on how elements of a process should be selected to produce a given Process Capability Profile CenPRA, Clenio F.
