                                                                                  2
             What is a Software Process?
             Aprocess is a method for doing or producing something.
             A software process is a method for producing software.
             Software products are a set of artifacts derived from a software development 
               process such as SRS, design specifications, executable file, user manual …
            "Producing software" includes                Managing the software project 
              specification                                involves
              design                                      obtaining resources
              construction                                measuring
              documentation                               tracking
              transition                                  reviews
              maintenance                                 analyzing results and acting on 
                                                            them

           Introduction
              • Why do we need a formal process?
                 • Failures occur (too) often
                 • Creating systems is not intuitive
                 • Projects are late, over budget or delivered with fewer 
                   features than planned
              • The System Analyst is the key person
                 • Designs a system to add value
                 • Must understand the business processes
                 • Job is rewarding, yet challenging
                 • Requires specific skill sets
                                                                                     4
