Abstract

Developing software using a well-defined, well-understoodprocess improves the likelihood of deliveringa product with the required quality. Enhancing thatprocess to meet recognised process standards, such asCMMI and ISO 9000, can further facilitate thedevelopment of complex systems in a repeatable andpredictable way. There are tradeoffs involved, however.In particular, because projects differ in their scale, scope,and technical challenge, the same process will not suit allcircumstances. Agile approaches to development, such asExtreme Programming (XP), SCRUM and CrystalMethodologies, recognise this dilemma and suggest thatprocesses be tailored to each situation. The researchproblem for postgraduate investigation is to determine indetail how this can be achieved successfully. This willinclude a consideration of how best to define, maintainand give access to a knowledge base recording details ofprocess concepts, techniques and experience.
