Cross Talk Process Improvement Best Practices: Modern Process Trends

Abstract

In this issue of Crosstalk, we explore some of the technologies and techniques that continue to improve our capabilities. One great example is Wayne Abbas examination of traditional earned value methods and how the concepts can still be utilized to great benefit, even in a more agile setting. Changes to the software lifecycle are imperative to support current development needs which Don ONeill details in his article In Search of a Modern Software Lifecycle.
