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.
