Software processes are dynamic entities that are often changed and evolved by skilful knowledge workers such as software development team members. Consequently, flexibility is one of the most important features within software process representations and related tools. However, in the everyday practice, team members do not wish for total flexibility. They rather prefer to learn about and follow previously defined advices on which, where and how they can change/adapt process representations. In this paper, we present FlexSPMF: a framework for modelling controlled flexibility in software processes. It comprises three main contributions:1 identifying a core set of flexibility concepts2 extending a process modelling language's (PML) metamodel with these concepts3 providing modelling resources to this extended PML.This enables process engineers to define and publish software process models with additional (textual/graphical) flexibility information. Other team members can then visualise and learn about this information and change processes accordingly. |
