Business impact of process improvements

Published: 10 May 2008 Publication History

Abstract

The topic of the workshop "Business Impact of Process Improvements" is achieving tangible and sustainable business impact from process improvements. Focus is on approaches that are both practical and quantifiable. The kinds of process improvements addressed include, but are not limited to, the introduction of iterative, agile or "lean" approaches, improved requirements engineering, risk management, usage of process improvement reference frameworks, and improved quality control and assurance. Busi-ness impact should be illustrated through either increasing the value of what is delivered to the customer or reducing the cost (for example by reduction of rework effort). The audience will share experiences how to reliably set-up, measure and achieve business-oriented process improvements in order to increase return on investment in software engineering.
