Management of development processes

More about the book

In recent years it has become increasingly difficult to coordinate development activities in enterprises. Due to growing team sizes and stronger competition on the one hand and shorter development cycles and lower budgets on the other hand, the focus is now on the management of development processes. Ansgar Schleicher presents an innovative framework for process management systems targeted at the evolutionary characteristics of processes. He describes the concepts behind as well as a full implementation of a flexible process management system, which enables the manager to react to any unexpected situation and to perform the necessary replanning during process runtime. It also assists an organization in discovering and modeling its processes in an easy-to-use object-oriented modeling language: the UML.
