Abstract

This paper describes the DESIRE (Designed Improvements in Requirements Evolution) project, which is investigating novel ways to better manage change during software development. Our work has identified 5 key process improvement practices:1. Adopting a change improvement framework.2. Establishing an organisation-wide change process.3. Classifying change.4. Change estimation.5. Measuring change improvement.In this paper, we describe each practice in detail, and propose a change maturity model that reflects an organisation's capability at managing change.
