Objective
The overall objective of this Action is to assess, classify, categorise, and exploit the experience of ESSI Process Improvement Experiments (PIEs) and to make this experience accessible to everyone (including subsequent PIE Users) in a convenient form. In particular, we want to collect and make available to a broad European audience information about Software Best Practice and its introduction in specific problem domains. In addition, we will use this opportunity to inform a wider community of software practitioners, including potential new PIE applicants, about the collective experience of previous PIEs in their Problem Domain to avoid duplicated effort.
ACTIONS
The essence of the subject and material to be disseminated consists of PIE experiences documented and commented with expert opinions. This material will be gathered at Regional Workshops and at a pan-European Workshop and a Conference.
The problem domains to be addressed will be defined in the beginning of the project. It is one of the important activities of this Action to classify and filter the PIE problem domains in order to determine areas of particular value to European Industry. Examples of candidate problem domains include configuration management, test and verification, object-oriented methods, formal methods, metrics, complexity and estimation. The Regional Workshops will be theme-based and target the problem domains selected.
The material from the pan-European Conference will form the basis of a new Series of Books from Springer-Verlag, the Software Best Practice Reports, and of Executive Reports (of the content of the books, summarising benefits and risks of real cases).
There are three major dissemination mechanisms foreseen within the EUREX project: 18 Regional Workshops, a pan-European Workshop and a pan-European Conference, and the publishable material generated as a consequence of the work carried out in the workshops and conferences, in particular the proceedings, the Software Best Practice Reports (books and executive summaries) and a CD-ROM containing background material.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The effect of this Action is to raise awareness throughout the software development community (and their enclosing organisations) that many problems are common to a broad range of organisations and that feasible solutions exist widely. Success stories about the introduction of Software Best Practice will help SMEs in particular justify moving forward with process improvement actions, both with and without Commission support.
