manual project planning

manual project trace recording

problem

statement

manually creating plans

introduces inconsistencies in task names,

structure and dependencies

manually recording traces

also introduces inconsistencies

integrated tool support is scarce for

coordinating processes, plans and traces

in this scenario SPI very difficult

which are the perceived

advantages and shortcomings

of the approach and tool to

apply them in practice?

which are the perceived

limitations for adopting the

approach and tool in practice?

approach

integration of various SPI

stages

tool integration instead of

tool replacement

automatic plan generation

process, plan & trace

history and comparison

limitations

for

adoption

demands additional effort from managers

and developers which may not be

practical for small enterprises

the full potential cannot be achieved as

the tool does not yet support process

tailoring, discovery and enhancement

conclusions

our approach offers consistent

support for SPI

CASPLE already supports part of

this activity

Industrial partners value the

potential of both of them and may

be willing to adopt them
