Towards a Process Capability Assessment Model for Government Domain

2016-06-10
Government Process Capability Determination Model is developed based on ISO/IEC 15504 by the authors in order to assess the extent of the processes to be consistently applied, managed, and controlled across governmental agencies. Government Process Reference Model consists of definitions of common processes across all governmental agencies as well as a generic process definition for agency-specific governmental processes. This study covers the development of the generic process definition in detail. AWL introduced by Medina-Mora is taken as a starting point to develop the generic process definition. A capability dimension based on the capability dimension of 15504-2 is defined. The outcomes and BPs described are, however, considered to be the minimum necessary to meet ISO/IEC 15504 requirements. In order to explore the applicability of the proposed definition, case studies are conducted. Public investment management process definition, ad-hoc defined beforehand, compared to the generic process definition. Moreover, The Graduate Student Selection process performed in METU is assessed and capability level of the process is determined; correspondingly, a roadmap to improve process capability level is derived. The findings of the study indicate the usefulness and adequacy of the proposed approach.

Proposing an ISO/IEC 15504 Based Process Improvement Method for the Government Domain
Gökalp, Ebru (2015-06-17)
Model based process improvement has been successfully applied for software organizations. After observing this success, customizing it to specific domains/sectors becomes one of the most critical challenges. On the other side, there are some quality problems in government domain as: low efficiency and process performance, employee and citizen dissatisfaction, high cost and defect rates. Assuming that successful processes will be reflected in higher quality, the government processes have to be improved. Howe...
Model based process assessment for public financial and physical resource management processes
Gökalp, Ebru (2017-11-01)
The necessity of transformation for efficient and effective management of Public Financial and Physical Resource Management (PFPRM) processes has become increasingly critical in the governmental organizations. However, there is a lack of a guideline in the literature for process capability determination and improvement of PFPRM processes. ISO/IEC 15504, also termed Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination (SPICE), is used as a baseline to generate capability/maturity models for different sp...
An approach for decentralized process modeling
Turetken, Oktay; Demirörs, Onur (2007-05-20)
This paper describes a method for organizations to perform process modeling in a decentralized and concurrent manner. The approach is based on the idea that modeling organizations' processes can be performed by individuals actually performing the processes. Instead of having a central and devoted group of people to analyze, understand, model and improve processes, real performers are held responsible to model and improve their own processes concurrently. The paper also summarizes the lessons learned by appl...
Assessing Software Processes over a New Generic Software Process Assessment Tool
YÜRÜM, OZAN RAŞİT; Özcan Top, Özden; DEMİRÖRS, ONUR (2017-08-01)
Performing process improvement to deliver qualified products with the expected cost on time has been a requirement for organizations targeting to be successful in the software market. Software organizations usually perform process improvement based on well-known process assessment frameworks such as CMMI and ISO/IEC 15504. A number of derivatives of CMMI and ISO/IEC 15504 have been developed and they are being updated. As a result of this, the software process assessment tool based on them needs to be updat...
An approach for eliciting functional requirements of the software intensive systems based on business process modeling
Yıldız, Okan; Güçlü, Nusret; Demirös, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2002)
In this thesis, eliciting system functional requirements based on business requirements during software intensive systems acquisition or development process is investigated and an approach is proposed for this purpose. Concepts and current problems within the framework of business requirements are investigated with a general literature review of requirements engineering and technology acquisition. Determination of requirements of IT system to be acquired according to the business objectives and base lining ...
