The V-Modell guide: experience with a Web-based approach for process support

The use and effects of an electronic process guide and experience repository: a longitudinal study

“…Some studies of the use of EPGs are as follows. BeckerKornstaedt et al [2] reported positive user feedback of an EPG but did not provide further usage profiles or describe how people utilise EPGs. This study motivated the development of the Spearmint/EPG toolset.…”

“…Furthermore, processes according to the process models are executed rather infrequently (< 10 times per month), therefore (a) automation of the processes was not supposed to leverage a high cost/benefit and (b) tracking of process status can be done by asking the responsible process executor. In addition, the experience made with the Electronic Process Guide (EPG) [BV99] showed that web-based process descriptions are a feasible way of distributing process knowledge within creative environments such as Software Business. In particular, changes to web-based process models can be communicated much quicker than paper-based process models, thus enabling a quick integration of experience.…”

“…For example, paper‐based process descriptions are not very user friendly; it is difficult to find relevant information that may cause difficulty for process performers wanting to find required information quickly. It is also difficult to distribute up‐to‐date process knowledge in printed form .…”
