The concept of processes is at the heart of software and systems
engineering. Software process models integrate software engineering
methods and techniques and are the basis for managing large-scale
software and IT projects. High product quality routinely results
from high process quality.
Software process management deals with getting and maintaining
control over processes and their evolution. Becoming acquainted
with existing software process models is not enough, though. It is
important to understand how to select, define, manage, deploy,
evaluate, and systematically evolve software process models so that
they suitably address the problems, applications, and environments
to which they are applied. Providing basic knowledge for these
important tasks is the main goal of this textbook.
Munch and his co-authors aim at providing knowledge that enables
readers to develop useful process models that are suitable for
their own purposes. They start with the basic concepts.
Subsequently, existing representative process models are
introduced, followed by a description of how to create individual
models and the necessary means for doing so (i.e., notations and
tools). Lastly, different possible usage scenarios for process
management are highlighted (e.g. process improvement and software
process simulation).
Their book is aimed at students and researchers working on
software project management, software quality assurance, and
software measurement; and at practitioners who are interested in
process definition and management for developing, maintaining, and
operating software-intensive systems and services."
