Which issues of a company can be solved by Stages?

Experiences from one of our Software Process Improvement (SPI) workshops

Recently I’ve been to one of our new Automotive customers to a SPI kick-off workshop. The workshop was lead by one of Method Park’s expert SPI consultants. One of the goals was to find out the current situation and especially the issues of the company which should be solved. The attendees of the workshop came from several departments like software development, system development, quality management, IT or production.At the end of the session we had collected a lot of things where the attendees thought they have problems at the moment. These things were clustered and one of the big clusters contained the following issues:

  •  Process interfaces are not transparent
  • Processes are poorly visualized
  • It is not clear which process has to be followed by whom in which project
  • Procedures are hard to read and understand
  • When it comes to templates nobody really knows where to find the current version
  • It is not transparent where documents are stored

My first thought was: this is exactly where we want to support with Stages!

We are now starting to define their processes with Stages and can hopefully seamlessly solve one of their big issues.
