Background
Project Overview Progress Process
Questions

• Service-Oriented Migration and Reuse Technique
  (SMART)
• Technique to analyze the effort, risk and cost of
  migration of specific legacy assets to a specific
  target Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
• Three Elements
• Process
• Service Migration Interview Guide (SMIG)
• Templates for Output Products

6
The Problem
Project Overview Progress Process
Questions

• Entire SMART process is manual
• SEI staff performs multiple concurrent interviews
  with different stakeholders
• Costly for client
• Dynamic interview environment (difficult to
  record data)
• Manual consolidation post-interview
• SEI staff manually generates risk analysis
  reports based upon interview notes
• Overload of data
• History tracking and trend application difficult

7
The Project
Project Overview Progress Process
Questions

• Streamline the SOA migration interview process
• Efficient data collection
• Automatic interview guide (SMIG) navigation
• Automatic data consolidation report generation
• Develop a centralized server and interviewer
  operated client software
• Goal To improve the efficiency of the SMART
  process.

Process Selection
Project Overview Progress Process
Questions

• Mentors identified primary focus areas for
  process selection
• Architecture Centric
• Iterative
• Team performed process review
• MSD references
• ACDM selected as base process
• Tailoring expected
• Some tailoring implemented for fall semester

18
Tailored ACDM (or ZDM)
Project Overview Progress Process
Questions

• Main reasons for the Zen Development Method
  (ZDM)
• Iterating on both the architecture and the SRS
• Begin prototyping and implementation early,
  using XP

19
Roles
Project Overview Progress Process
Questions

• Selection based on
• Personality traits (from boot camp)
• Group consensus

20
Reflections and the Future
Project Overview Progress Process
Questions

• What we learned
• Defining a new process is complex and
  time-consuming
• Tailoring an existing process is simple and
  allows actual progress to occur
• Good team dynamics are important
• What we will be doing
• Each semester we will review our process and
  identify opportunities for further tailoring
