Seminar on the Processes and Procedure Models in Software Development

In this seminar, standard procedure models and processes of software development are being dealt with. Various approaches, success concepts and mistakes are discussed from an historical point of view. The participant is taught conceptual systems that are suitable for describing the development processes. In addition to the traditional process models, current changes within the software development processes are discussed.

Besides the very theoretical models, the seminar also deals with the question of how to describe and develop further preexisting processes.
What goals are pursued by describing and developing processes? What mental and social resistances are to be expected if you would like to improve the development processes in a company or in a project? What does it mean for an organization to undertake a change of the development process? What does quality mean? What do processes have to do with the required perception of quality in a company? And what does it mean when the purchaser of a software project insists on the transparency and the verifiability of development processes?

The following subject matters are covered:

The seminar is carried out in the form of lectures, discussions and both social and organizational small experiments. Software development experience may not be required, but it is a plus. Project manager experience also constitutes an advantageous starting point for this seminar.
