6 Panel Topic:  Relation between process and quality Panel Members:  Naci Akkök, University of Oslo  Yenal Göğebakan, Cybersoft  Orhan Kalaycı, Nitelik Danışmanlık  Alpay Karagöz, Bilgi Grubu  Halil Şengonca, Ege Universitesi

7 Approach 5-10 minutes view of each panel member Open discussion with audience

8 Questions Different processes; processes are not independent from each other How to derive the best possible processes and/or improvement models? Goal driven process selection, customization and improvement (what are the business goals) Metrics for process selection and customization and improvement (tailoring)  usability of process for company; usability is upper metric consisting of sub-metrics (size of project, application characteristics…) Constraints for selecting processes  Organizational perspectives of selecting processes  Social issues  Psychological (resistance/acceptance)  Technological  Skills of persons

9 Questions What is the quality of company? How to evaluate?  Metric based on process level (CMM level)  Other metrics independent from CMM level? Company/Organisation improvement instead of process improvement? How to categorize projects to select the appropriate process?

10 Questions Impact of stakeholders (clients) for impact of selection on process/process improvement model? What’s the impact of the domain on process? How to evaluate process improvement models? “Selecting a process selects quality” Context analysis

11 Questions Tailoring of processes  Select/refine processes based on project criteria/characteristics  How to compose processes? Usability

12 Short/initial summary Business Requirements Process Selection Process Improvement Models Evaluation of Process Improvement Models Constraints Product Requirements Process refinement

13 Questions

Discussion Session I

15 Splitting the group Tools Criteria for Processes Comp.SD and DE(Process) Metrics Modeling?

16 Deliverables The session should deliver (1) a mindmap and (2) a set of problem descriptions:

17 Mindmap (1) Mindmap: Draw one mindmap that shows the context of the described problems/domain.

18 Alternative Representation Conference Organization Tutorials Planning Social Program Workshops Invited Talk Costs Demonstrations

19 Define for each main idea the most important problems Core Idea Main Topic2 Main Topic3 Main Topic4 Main Topic5 Main Topic1 Problem 4 Problem 5 Problem 2 Problem 3 Problem 1

20 Problem Description The problems should be described in the following form: Problem: describe textually what the problem is. Why is it a problem?: Motivate why is this a fundamental problem.

21 Deliverables The session should deliver a set of solution descriptions. A solution description should be in the following format: Problem: Describe the problem. Potential Approach: Describe the approach to tackle the problem Related Work: List the related knowledge domains/related work for this problem

22 Deliverables lead to assignments/projects Example: Problem:  Software Architecture Design is a Heavy Process which takes a long time before it is finished. In practice however, due to stringent time-to-market requirements faster delivery is required… Potential Approach:  Apply agile methods to software architecture design methods. Related Work:  Software Architecture Design  Agile Methods  Method Engineering
