Abstract

Traditional software development processes have shown to be inappropriate for markets where it is necessary to quickly respond to changing customer needs. To address this issue, a number of modern development processes have been developed that attempt to improve customer responsiveness. One such modern process is Streamline Development (SD), a process developed by and for Ericsson AB. This article presents an early evaluation of the suitability of SD for Ericsson. The evaluation was performed by finding positive and negative aspects of introducing SD, as well as identifying issues to address if implementing the new process. The data regarding the impact of introducing SD was collected in a series of interviews and then structured using a modification of Force Field Analysis (FFA). Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
