Model of strategic relationships between organizational and technical factors in colombian software factories

Abstract

A model is presented to reconcile the management of software development and organizational management through the relationship of factors associated with production in software factories and administrative factors, aligning operational metrics with the strategic objectives of the factories. Other authors have proposed models such as the Integrated Maturity Capability (CMMI), the Personal Software Processes (PSP), or the Software for Equipment (TSP), to support the continuous improvement of software factories. In parallel, the organizational management has consolidated the missionary development of companies in different sectors, through the exercise of strategic planning and its deployment. The proposal presented in this article provides a tool, complementary to those that serve as support for the development and deployment of strategic planning for the convenience of executives of software factories. The result of this proposal was validated in four software factories with different levels of maturity.
