The Real-World Application of IEEE Software and Systems Engineering Standards as the basis for Software Process Improvement
Process improvement methodologies do not tell users ‘how’ to satisfy their criteria as they are typically descriptive. These methodologies do not describe how to accomplish their goals but describe the criteria that the end results should support. Standards, however, are prescriptive. Standards describe how to fulfill the requirements associated with effective organizational process improvement and software project management. They are effective tools for the definition and managed improvement of the software development process.
Ms. Land will present brief descriptions of several process methodologies – the CMMI, ISO 9001, and Lean Six Sigma and how IEEE Systems and Software Engineering Standards might be best applied in support of each of these models. She will describe how these standards might be used to define a foundation of software and systems engineering processes and practices that might be used ensure:
- CMMI Level 2/3 compliance,
- ISO 9001 compliance,
- provide the basis for the application of Lean Six Sigma methodologies,
- Or simply establish, or improve, existing processes and practices.
