Software re-use: a process improvement experiment at an IBM Semea facility

Objetivo

Within IBM Semea, the Product Development unit produces software intensive products and solutions for a very dynamic and competitive market, in which product quality, products costs, time-to-market are key competitive levers. To quickly develop high-quality, cost effective solutions for its international customers, the Product Development unit has identified, through a preliminary assessment of its current software development practices, a 1st-priority improvement step in its development process. Such improvement consists in the adoption of a re-use oriented software development practice.

THE EXPERIMENT
To achieve this goal, a specific methodology, namely REBOOT, and a supporting tool, namely EUROWARE, have been identified as the key enablers. IBM Semea, Product Development Unit intends to introduce both of them in its organisation, to validate and disseminate them and to measure the actual benefits through a pilot application which is based upon 2 specific baseline projects: Datavideo, the source of re-usable components, and Datasat, which will benefit from such re-usable components.

EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
In the context outlined above, the expected business impact at IBM Semea, PD Unit are:
To reduce the development costs of new products and solutions, thanks to the availability and use of existing re-usable software components. The goal is to reduce such costs by at least 25%.
To reduce the evolution and maintenance of existing products and solutions, thanks to the use of consolidated, validated, well designed and well documented software components. The goal is to reduce such costs by at least 25%.
To reduce the time-to-market of new products and solutions, thanks to the availability of re-usable, tested software components which will reduce the overall design/development/testing lead-time. The goal is to reduce time-to-market by at least 30%.
Finally, it is strategic objective of IBM Semea - Product Development unit to reduce the overload of its resources (less effort required to develop a product, thanks to re-use of existing software components) and to optimise their allocation on the various projects, thus increasing the overall flexibility of the unit itself and its capability of timely getting new business opportunities.
