| Περίληψη: | Abstract: This paper introduces the concept of a business process based measurement framework to assess completeness and correctness of an IT platform (software) for business operations readiness. Conventional software development methods do not provide the development status in a manner that reflects the business operations readiness perspective, especially when the development is outsourced. Conventional methods report in terms of the requirements developed and the number of test cases passed. In a typical operations production setup, the operations team executes the business process and hence is able to better appreciate the state of the software under construction in terms of business process. Business users validate the business process during the acceptance testing phase, but this is a post development completion activity. Consider the common scenario where a large software development project is close to its planned development end date (that is, pre user acceptance testing phase), and there is a delay as per schedule. Now, the business needs to take a call: Go Live / Not to Go Live with the business change, as planned. This decision is critical when the business change is “time‐to‐market” sensitive. To take such a call, the business needs to have a clear understanding of the level of readiness of the software from a business operations perspective; whereas the standard measures applied to report the completion status of a software development project is the number of requirements developed and the number of test cases passed. Such a report does not provide the business with a view of the operations readiness of the software. In this paper, the author has made an attempt to provide a mechanism by which the level of completion of the software can be represented using a business process view and that in turn can measure the relative business operations readiness of the software, at any given point in time. This view can further be used as a feedback mechanism to prepare and execute the revised production rollout strategy for the software. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
