Paper Abstract:
|
An adequate software process development can be the key to meet the success on a software project. Project risks can be prevented through process tailoring with preventive actions described as process fragments. Due to the differences among software projects the best software process depends on the particularities of each project. Situational Method Engineering (SME) focuses on building specific method/process according to the situation at hand from method fragments. This paper proposes prevent software projects risks through software process tailoring based on SME concepts. The preventive actions are described as method fragments that are elaborated from successful practices in software management and can be used to elaborate or improve the software processes. Method fragments can be reused to define different processes. For this we propose a multi-criteria selection and prioritization approach of method fragments according to the project risks and project context, respectively. This prioritization happens through an algorithm based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique and aims to find the best fragments to be included into the specific project process to prevent its risks. |
