Software Technology for Adaptable, Reliable Systems (STARS) Program: Requirementsfor Workstation Support Capabilities to Support the Management of Software Development Projects Using Cleanroom Engineering

摘要

This report presents the requirements for planning and scheduling for CleanroomEngineering. The lessons learned/advances made as a result of the research effort include: The generic Cleanroom process model was improved. The full recognition of the fact that process definition must drive a process improvement program. A classification of all decisions necessary to support a project. A definition of planning requirements to support each type of decision. The development of an analytic method to compute expected project completion time using Markov model of project status. The recognition that the role of process managers (like CEPA, KI-Shell or Process Weaver) is to support the dispatching decision. The most effective way to support the dispatching decision is to centralize the necessary process intelligence in a process server. Full definition of the CEPA requirements to support project management and planning. Cleanroom, Software Process, Planning, Scheduling, Project Management.
