Abstract:
|
This presentation will examine the economic current surveys plan to improve the way statistical software is developed to support surveys. It examines the existing culture and the need to bridge the gap between business expertise and software process expertise required to manage organizational and technological change. It is the goal of the Economic Directorate to evolve toward a methodology that integrates software engineering and management excellence with survey research and computing. This presentation discusses the general approach, including the management steps necessary to make the transition toward software process improvement. It looks at areas of progress and challenges ahead that include the limited management and technical resources available. To improve the way software is developed, we need to be cognizant of the factors that affect change and implement strategies to ensure successful implementation. Included will be a discussion of our experience with the Capability Maturity Model (CMM), the Team Software Process (TSP), and the Personal Software Process (PSP).
