2 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE2 Why Software Projects Fail

3 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE3 Software Testing Business Case Vendor proposition –Our test data generator will cut your test costs in half –We’ll provide it to you for 30% of your test costs –After you run all your tests for 50% of your original cost, you are 20% ahead Any concerns with vendor proposition?

4 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE4 Software Testing Business Case Vendor proposition –Our test data generator will cut your test costs in half –We’ll provide it to you for 30% of your test costs –After you run all your tests for 50% of your original cost, you are 20% ahead Any concerns with vendor proposition? –Test data generator is value-neutral* –Every test case, defect is equally important –Usually, 20% of test cases cover 80% of business case * As are most current software engineering techniques

5 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE5 20% of Features Provide 80% of Value: Focus Testing on These (Bullock, 2000) % of Value for Correct Customer Billing Customer Type 100 80 60 40 20 51015 Automated test generation tool - all tests have equal value

7 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE7 Motivation for Value-Based SE Current SE methods are basically value-neutral –Every requirement, use case, object, test case, and defect is equally important –Object oriented development is a logic exercise –“Earned Value” Systems don’t track business value –Separation of concerns: SE’s job is to turn requirements into verified code –Ethical concerns separated from daily practices Value-neutral SE methods are increasingly risky –Software decisions increasingly drive system value –Corporate adaptability to change achieved via software decisions –System value-domain problems are the chief sources of software project failures

8 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE8 20% of Fires Cause 80% of Property Loss: Focus Fire Dispatching on These? 100 80 60 40 20 % of Property Loss % of Fires 20406080100

9 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE9 Penumbra Negotiation Example: Fire Dispatching System Dispatch to minimize value of property loss –Neglect safety, least-advantaged property owners English-only dispatcher service –Neglect least-advantaged immigrants Minimal recordkeeping –Reduced accountability Tight budget; design for nominal case –Neglect reliability, safety, crisis performance

10 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE10 Conclusions So Far Value considerations are software success- critical “Success” is a function of key stakeholder values –Risky to exclude key stakeholders Values vary by stakeholder role Non-monetary values are important –Fairness, customer satisfaction, trust

11 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE11 Key Definitions Value (from Latin “valere” – to be worth 1.A fair or equivalent in goods, services, or money 2.The monetary worth of something 3.Relative worth, utility or importance Software validation (also from Latin “valere”) –Validation: Are we building the right product? –Verification: Are we building the product right?

12 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE12 7 Key Elements of VBSE 1.Benefits Realization Analysis 2.Stakeholders’ Value Proposition Elicitation and Reconciliation 3.Business Case Analysis 4.Continuous Risk and Opportunity Management 5.Concurrent System and Software Engineering 6.Value-Based Monitoring and Control 7.Change as Opportunity

13 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE13 - Stakeholder value propositions (win conditions) The Model-Clash Spider Web: Master Net

14 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE14 Theory W: Enterprise Success Theorem – And informal proof Theorem: Your enterprise will succeed if and only if it makes winners of your success-critical stakeholders Proof of “if”: Everyone that counts is a winner. Nobody significant is left to complain. Proof of “only if”: Nobody wants to lose. Prospective losers will refuse to participate, or will counterattack. The usual result is lose-lose.

15 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE15 Theory W: WinWin Achievement Theorem Making winners of your success-critical stakeholders requires: i.Identifying all of the success-critical stakeholders (SCSs). ii.Understanding how the SCSs want to win. iii.Having the SCSs negotiate a win-win set of product and process plans. iv.Controlling progress toward SCS win-win realization, including adaptation to change.

16 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE16 VBSE Theory 4+1 Structure

17 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE17 VBSE Component Theories Theory W (Stakeholder win-win) –Enterprise Success Theorem, Win-Win Achievement Theorem Dependency Theory (Product, process, people interdependencies) –Systems architecture/performance theory, costing and scheduling theory; organization theory Utility Theory –Utility functions, bounded rationality, Maslow need hierarchy, multi-attribute utility theory Decision Theory –Statistical decision theory, game theory, negotiation theory, theory of Justice Control Theory –Observability, predictability, controllability, stability theory

18 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE18 Dependency Theory - Example

19 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE19 Decision Theory – Example - RE due to inadequate plans - RE due to market share erosion - Sum of risk exposures

20 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE20 Control Theory - Example Value Realization Feedback Control

21 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE21 Initial VBSE Theory: 4+1 Process – With a great deal of concurrency and backtracking

22 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE22 Example Project: Sierra Mountainbikes –Based on what would have worked on a similar project Quality leader in specialty area Competitively priced Major problems with order processing –Delivery delays and mistakes –Poor synchronization of order entry, confirmation, fulfillment –Disorganized responses to problem situations –Excess costs; low distributor satisfaction

23 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE23 Order Processing Project Goals Goals: Improve profits, market share, customer satisfaction via improved order processing Questions: Current state? Root causes of problems? Keys to improvement? Metrics: Balanced Scorecard of benefits realized, proxies –Customer satisfaction ratings; key elements (ITV: in- transit visibility) –Overhead cost reduction –Actual vs. expected benefit and cost flows, ROI

24 University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ©USC-CSSE24 Initial VBSE Theory: 4+1 Process, Step 1 – With a great deal of concurrency and backtracking
