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
