Defining and Deploying Software Processes

Defining and Implementing Software Processes provides a flexible framework for tailoring processes to fit an organization's development and quality improvement needs. It explains how to create and implement processes that promote process quality and reduce overall development time. It shows how to link these processes to the CMMI model and ISO standard. The author discusses how to create processes guaranteed to meet schedules and budgets, reinvigorate a process improvement program that developers have abandoned, and apply processes to real-world applications. He supplies a process model that can be used for ISO 9001 certification, CMMI appraisals, and Six Sigma and Malcolm Baldridge maturity model compliance.
