A Project Management (PM) process is a process that wraps sound and repeatable structure around a series of events that lead to a projects completion or implementation. In most cases, you will see a structured diagram that lists the project management process groups used to manage a project. I have been fortunate to study and review many PM processes over the years from the Department of Defense to State and Local government processes. In addition, I have studied and reviewed PM processes in business enterprises, banking, health care and nuclear power. What I want to present, is the concept of the Project Management Process and why is it beneficial to have one in place in your organization. In most cases Project Management (PM) processes actually serve a purpose in an organization by providing a PM process methodology in an environment

Probably the most noticeable change to software process thinking in the last few years has been the appearance of the word 'agile'. We talk of agile software

methods, of how to introduce agility into a development team, or of how to resist the impending storm of agilists determined to change well-established practices.
This new movement grew out of the efforts of various people who dealt with software process in the 1990s, found them wanting, and looked for a new approach to software process. Most of the ideas were not new, indeed many people believed that much successful software had been built that way for a long time. There was, however, a view that these ideas had been stifled and not been treated seriously enough, particularly by people interested in software process.
This essay was originally part of this movement. I originally published it in July 2000. I wrote it, like most of my essays, as part of trying to understand the topic. At that time I'd used Extreme Programming for

Overview
Both personal productivity and enterprise server software are routinely
shipped to their users with defects, called bugs from the early days of comput-
ing. This error rate and its consequent failures in operation would not be tol-
erated for any manufactured or “hardware” product sold today. But software
is not a manufactured product in the same sense as a mechanical device or
household appliance, even a desktop computer. Since programming began as
an intellectual and economic activity with the ENIAC in 1946, a great deal of
attention has been given to making software programs as reliable as the com-
puter hardware they run on. Unlike most manufactured goods, software
undergoes continual redesign and upgrading in practice because the sy

for a living I would eventually stop writing buggy code. Well, yes and no. I made a lot fewer, but there were still a few embarrassments. Then my good friend and colleague, Dr. Allan Stavely of the Computer Science Department here at New Mexico Tech, got an NSF grant to study a new methodology called Cleanroom Software Development. Since this intensive class, he has twice taught a 3-hour course in the methodology, and I got to take it in the spring of 1994. At this writing (in the fall of 2002), I have embraced this style in all my coding projects, large and small. Almost all this coding has used Python, with some Icon, a little emacs Lisp, and even some XSLT. My strong feeling is that this is the way to go, and I will never go back to my older, sloppier, bug-prone ways of developing code. The best source for practicing the method i

Introduction Enterprise Architectures offer a solution to the challenges presented in business, providing a comprehensive approach to understanding and
...
managing an organisation’s processes and goals. This is achieved by defining the operational context, the systems architecture and the supporting standards and documents that are necessary to describe the enterprise. MODAF – the Ministry of Defence Architectural Framework – is an example of one such architecture framework that is being used in the UK defence industry and is starting to be adopted across the aerospace industry. This seminar will provide a forum for explaining how architecture frameworks can be effectively used in engineering projects to improve business goals. It will explore the principles of enterprise architecture frameworks, the rationale to using this engineering methodology and the business benefits. Expert speakers include Ian Bailey, Managing Director, Model Futures Ltd Robbie Forder, Principal Consultant, Hi-Q S
