Author Description
[The authors] have done an excellent job of bringing forth the power and the flexibility of this most useful framework in an easy to read and understand introduction. Although it has been written to be an introductory text in OPF, I found [it] also readily useable as a handbook for initial process definition, an accessible treatment of important issues in software process design, and a textbook in OPF.Houman YounessiAssociate Professor of Computer Science, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute The OPEN Process Framework provides a template for generating flexible, yet disciplined, processes for developing high-quality software and system applications within a predictable schedule and budget. Using this framework as a starting point, you can create and tailor a process to meet the specific needs of the project.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This book investigates how the OPEN Process Framework (OPF) can be utilized to generate flexible, disciplined methodologies for software and system development. Authors Brian Henderson-Sellers and Donald Firesmith leverage their extensive expertise in software engineering to present a structured approach that balances project predictability with the need for adaptability. The text serves as both a foundational introduction to the framework and a practical guide for tailoring processes to meet specific project constraints, budgets, and schedules.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- A comprehensive template for constructing customized software development processes.
- Methodologies for balancing project flexibility with disciplined engineering standards.
- Practical guidance on initial process definition for complex system applications.
- Strategies for maintaining predictable timelines and budgets within software projects.
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts in the field identify this work as a foundational text for understanding the practical application of the OPEN Process Framework. Readers frequently note that the prose remains accessible for students while providing sufficient technical depth for professionals to use as a functional handbook.
