Abstract
To provide better services to customers and not to be left behind in a competitive business environment, a wide variety of ready-to-use software and technologies are available for one to grab and build up software systems at a very fast pace. Rapid fielding plays a major role in developing software systems to provide a quick response to the organization. This paper investigates the appropriateness of current software development processes and develops new software development process guidelines, focusing on four process patterns: Use single Non-Developmental Item (NDI), NDI-intensive, Services-intensive, and Architected Agile. Currently, there is no single software development process model that is applicable to all four process patterns, but the Incremental Commitment Model (ICM) can help a new project converge on a process that fits their process drivers. This paper also presents process decision criteria in terms of these drivers and relates them to the ICM Electronic Process Guide.
