Process Assessment
The quality of a software product is only as good as the process used to develop and maintain it. Whether a software organization is competing in the marketplace or trying to satisfy internal requirements, its software process is a critical success factor. Well thought out improvements to the process will significantly contribute to the organization’s performance.
A Software Process Assessment is a catalyst for initiating meaningful process improvement and can help your organization break through the barriers that constrain quality and productivity. It will allow you to establish and focus a process improvement program that will result in increased customer satisfaction, lower development and maintenance costs and reduced cycle time
A software process assessment is an objective self- appraisal of an organization’s software development capability. We conduct a process assessment as a collaborative effort, involving your software professionals in all assessment activities so that all participants gain a common understanding of the current software process and reach consensus on the critical process issues.
