Abstract
Narrow focus is the key to success for organizations of all kinds and sizes. Focus can be diluted by emphasizing the “wrong kind” of software process improvement. That’s right: traditional software process improvement may impede the successful development and deliver software, particularly innovative and total solutions. In fact, adherence to traditional software process improvement can cause an organization to become blind to competitive forces. This presentation gives a preview of a new set of improvements that are tailored to the new styles of software development and to the new market realities about time to market, our tolerance of quality concerns, and relentless focus on convenience.

[“To research purchasing behavior, the authors surveyed 5,000 consumers, but the responses they got surprised them and prompted their title’s contrary proposition. Crawford and Mathews found that values (respect, honesty, trust, dignity) were more important to consumers than value. This discovery led the pair to develop a new model of ‘consumer relevancy.’ They explain in detail the importance of price, service, quality, access, and experience for the consumer. They then suggest that for companies to be successful they need to dominate on only one of these five factors. On a second of the five they should stand out or differentiate themselves from their competitors; and on the remaining three they need only to be at par with others in their industry.”]
