FEATURE ARTICLE Do You Need a New Product-Development Strategy? Aligning Process With Context There is no one-size-fits-all product-development process; designing new products for different business contexts requires different new-product development processes. Alan MacCormack‚ William Crandall‚ Paul Henderson‚ and Peter Toft OVERVIEW: Many firms rely on a single new-product development process for all projects. But designing new products for different business contexts requires that a firm

An Example of Using Key Performance Indicators for Software Development Process Efficiency Evaluation. Abstract - This paper gives an overview of possible Key Performance Indicators (KPI) that can be used for software process efficiency evaluation. The overview is based on currently used KPIs in software development projects on CPP platform. The most important KPIs are analyzed‚ and their usage in the process efficiency evaluation is discussed. The outcome of the measurement is used to

Because the author’s experience and knowledge of GAS is primarily limited to ACL‚ that is the software used to demonstrate the value of implementing GAS in this article. For more software products‚ see the exhibit in the Bagranoff and Henry article‚ cited in footnote 3‚ and the list of GAS in the Sayana article‚ cited in footnote 1. Experts say that generalized audit software (GAS) is the most common computer-assisted audit tool (CAAT) used in recent years. There are many reasons today for IT auditors

Software Metric Software metric is a measure of some property of a piece of software or its specifications. Since quantitative measurements are essential in all sciences‚ there is a continuous effort by computer science practitioners and theoreticians to bring similar approaches to software development. The goal is obtaining objective‚ reproducible and quantifiable measurements‚ which may have numerous valuable applications in schedule and budget planning‚ cost estimation‚ quality assurance testing

Computer software‚ be it the brain behind our VCR or the program created specifically to run a country’s missile defense system‚ are an absolutely integral part of helping to make our day-to-day lives that much less complicated. But when your blender comes screaming to life in your sleep‚ or your bank somehow “loses” your life savings and says “you only have 37 cents in that account”‚ who is to blame? According to liability laws that have been in question since the birth of what might be considered
