Software Excellence Through the Agile High Velocity Development(SM) Process
Abstract:
The Advanced Information Services Division of Ishpi Information Technologies, Inc. (DBAISHPI) performs all aspects of the software development lifecycle using its High Velocity Development (HVD) process. We have studied many methods and frameworks (including Personal Software Process, Team Software Process, CMMI for Development, Scrum, Kanban, CMMI for Services, ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 20000-1 (Information Technology Service Management), ISO 27001 (Information Security Management Systems), Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, and more), adapted them, combined them, and made them our own. The result is an innovative, cohesive process that works for usour agile HVD process. We have shown that diverse inputs need not be contradictory choices, but instead complementary building blocks.By evolving, implementing, and utilizing the HVD practices, AIS Division teams have achieved significant improvement in productivity and performance. ISHPIs customers have benefited from shorter schedules, lower costs for development due to minimal rework costs, lower costs for maintenance, and an overall positive experience during each project.
