The essay is a continuation of my essay titled "Traceability: A Radical Approach Based on User Involvement".   Part two starts to get into the meat of tracability and scalability.  Note I recently received a comment about not having access to the whole essay immediately.  While the whole paper is drafted I do my final re-write as I record each section therefore the essay is not really complete until the last part is recorded.  It is the way I write.

Upcoming Speaking Engagements

ITMPI webinar
Process Improvement in a Multi-Model World
September 15, 2009
11:00 am - 12:30 pm Eastern Time

Model based process improvement typically has centered on a single model or framework as the lynch pin to control software process improvement within an organization. The use of a model or framework is an excellent means of reducing random activity unfortunately one model does not cover the whole organization. Process improvement has matured to a point where the span of control needs to be extended which suggests the use of more than one model (e.g. CMMI, ISO, ITIL and Business Process Re-engineering to name a few). This webinar with Tom Cagley will discuss how to manage process improvement in a complex, multi-model environment.
