A Framework for the Flexible Instantiation of Large Scale Software Process Tailoring

摘要

Due to the variety of concerns affecting software development in large organizations, generic software processes have to be adapted to project specific needs to be effectively applicable in individual projects. We describe the architecture of a tool aiming to provide support for tailoring and instantiation of reference processes. The goal is to minimize the effort for the individualisation of generic software processes to project specific needs. In contrast to existing approaches, our prototype provides flexible support for adaptation decisions made by project managers while adhering to modelling constraints stated by the used modelling language, enterprise policies or business process regulations.
