CM for Decision Makers

Process models can provide guidance for process optimization, but they generally leave substantial room for interpretation on their actual implementation.

This seminar provides managers with an outline of configuration management (CM) in support of active development. It will be established that CM is more than just version control, and that it in fact provides a clean foundation for sustainable improvement of development processes.

Project Automation on the Basis of CM

Project automation not only results in faster and independent development cycles but also optimizes the quality of the results due to repeatable and consistent processes.

In this seminar, conceptions and fields of professional and profitable project automation are portrayed on the basis of open source tools and compared with regard to their efficiency.

CM and Variant Management

The development of software for multi-variant systems presents great challenges to software management. New market- and customer-specific product variants have to be assessed and planned in detail and need to be realized rapidly and at high quality. Particularly configuration and requirements management must be adjusted to these requirements.

This workshop shows how new and proven concepts in product line development can enhance efficiency and quality. Requirement, configuration and change management, including traceability across the entire software lifecycle will be discussed with emphasis on multi-variant systems.

Learn to realise efficient and seamless product line development by appropriately designed variant management. Reduce development cost, improve quality and cut the time-to-market. Gain deeper insight with various real-life examples from our practical experience.

CM and SPICE/ CMMI

Capability maturity models like SPICE (ISO 15504)/ CMMI allow for systematic assessment and improvement of development processes in organizations.

CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) has become an established standard for development processes in many international business organizations. SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination), which is similar to CMMI, is widely used particularly in Europe, due to the decision of many automobile manufacturers to assess their suppliers according to ISO 15504.

Configuration Management is a basic process area which has to be entirely established in order to obtain maturity level 2 (of five). In this seminar, basics and process areas of SPICE and CMMI are outlined, with an emphasis on the underlying process area CM and its application in software companies.
