Initial requirements, new requirements and technical issues are the main factors that have a great effect over the software product development process. Difficulties resulting from incomprehensibility of initial requirements indicate two sub-factors: Deviations determined during analysis of initial requirements and deviations resulting from interpretation of requirements inaccurate and incomplete. New requirements being received from customers or end users during the development process affect the project performance. There can be problems during the implementation of product specifications, inaccurate formation of architectural design and technical solutions, incorrect coding of functions, or wrong realization of interfaces. The general technical problems cover the all problems arising from technical reasons and the negative situations they create on the project. During the design and implementation activities of software intensive projects, these tree main factors can be affected by other sub-factors. The aim of this study is to examine the factor classes which influence these three problem domains with CHAID (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection) technique. Time deviations caused by initial requirements, new requirements and general technical problems are selected as target variables. In this research, 75 projects that develop software intensive products are studied to formalize the most accurate decision mechanism.
A computer-based technology management system is needed to manage technology assessment, technology acquisition, and technology planning capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. During the design of technology management intelligence, it has appeared that there has been a need to establish an integrated and systematic approach. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) provides this systematic approach to the planning, development, implementation, and governance of the enterprise architecture. This exploratory paper examines the TOGAF approach to develop a technology management architecture in a product development organization. The paper discusses the development and proactive governance of the technology management architecture from various perspectives such as architecture capability, architecture development, transition planning, and architecture implementation. The paper presents a TOGAF based governance framework for the technology management system in an organization that develops software-intensive systems. The framework supports an iterative approach in the architecture capability, architecture development, transition planning, and architecture implementation phases. The implementation governance phase can deal with multiple projects simultaneously. Therefore, the framework suggests applying agile system development principles to the projects that develop and deploy the architecture-compliant technology management solutions. The proposed framework helps organizations to design and implement a technology management architecture that meets the needs of the business. The framework also aims to simplify development and maintenance processes of a technology management system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
