Should we REALLY improve our processes?

  • International competition forces organizations to deliver products or services with better quality, at lower cost, and in a shorter timeframe
  • Process definitions capture current expertise and vital knowledge and are the foundation for tangible continuous improvement resulting in higher customer satisfaction and improved competitiveness
  • The products or services required by the market are based more and more on an important software component and institutionalization of a mature process becomes essential to deliver
  • With a more mature process, projects are better able to respect budgets deadlines
  • The benefits (productivity, early detection of defects, better time to market, reduction of correction efforts – "rework") largely exceed the investment required
