SEMAT was initialized by a Case for Action statement

Software engineering is gravely hampered today by immature

practices. Specific problems include:

The prevalence of fads more typical of fashion industry than of an engineering

discipline.

The lack of a sound, widely accepted theoretical basis.

The huge number of methods and method variants, with differences little

understood and artificially magnified.

The lack of credible experimental evaluation and validation.

The split between industry practice and academic research.

We support a process to refound software engineeringbased on a

solid theory, proven principles and best practices that:

Include a kernel of widely-agreed elements, extensible for specific uses

Addresses both technology and people issues

Are supported by industry, academia, researchers and users

Support extension in the face of changing requirements and technology

Taking a holistic approach

and exploiting the common ground

All 7 CMU-SV practicum teams used different sets of s/w engineering practices

Progress & Health

Measure progress & health of

your teams regardless of

practices selected.

Avoiding Problems

Detect systemic problems

early & take appropriate action

Source: Ccile Praire & Todd Sedano, CMU-CV


28/84


Building Checklists and Checkpoints

As well as showing you where the

team is the cards can also be usedto create checkpoints to show

where the team should be.


29/84


For Example:

What does it mean to be Ready to Release?

Imagine the situation:

Software goes to operations for deployment.

Live support must be ready to take on ownership of the system.

Critical legal compliance requirements must be checked.

ouldnt it be good to have a checklist that could be used to confir

whether or not the software system was ready for release?


30/84


For Example:


Which Alphas do we care about?


31/84


What about the other Alphas?

For Example:

Are the checklists sufficient?

Add any additional

checklist items

your organizationrequires.

Representing Lifecycles

As well as showing you where the

team is the cards can also be usedto create a series of checkpoints to

represent your development

lifecycle and help with governanceand compliance.

There are particularly four things to remember

1. SEMAT relies on a common ground

or a kernel

1. The kernel includes seven alphas tobe used to measure progress andhealth

1. It relies on a simple, intuitive visuallanguage

A Declaration of Practice Independence

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all

practices are created equal, that they are endowed by

their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, thatamong these are life (constant evolution), liberty

(method independence) and the pursuit of excellence.
