“…The presentation then summarises more recent work on the application of management theory to the area of process modelling and process improvement [2]. In this work it is shown, using case studies that use macro process modelling along with the reported results of CMMi adoption, that understanding can be achieved through the use of organizational theory, a process improvement research framework, and process innovation theory.…”

Abstract. Current software development methodologies (such as agile and RUP) are largely management-centred, macro-process life-cycle models. While they may include some fine-grained micro-process development practices, they usually provide little concrete guidance on appropriate micro-process level dayto-day development activities. The major factors that affect such micro-process activities are not well understood. We propose that software architecture and technical development processes are two major factors. We describe how these two factors affect micro-process activities. We validate our claim by mining micro-processes from two commercial projects and investigating relationships with software architecture and technical development processes.

SUMMARYIt is difficult to manage complex software systems. Thus, many research initiatives focus on how to improve software development efficiency and maintainability. However, the trend in the industry is still alarming, software development projects fail, and maintenance is becoming more and more expensive. One problem could be that research has been focusing on the wrong things. Most research publications address either process improvements or architectural improvements. There are few known approaches that consider how architectural changes affect processes and vice versa. One method proposed, called the Business–Architecture–Process method, takes these aspects into consideration. In 2007 the method was tested in one case study. Findings in the 2007 case study show that the method is useful, but in need of improvements and further validation. The present paper employs the method in a second case study. The contribution in this paper is thus a second test and validation of the proposed method, and useful method improvements for future use of the method. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
