Jointly presented by Osellus and SPC Inc
In today's economic climate, business decisions about whether or not to invest in software development initiatives are being put under increasing scrutiny. These decisions are often based on projections of a positive Return On Investment (ROI). Further, ROI is becoming widely used for measuring the delivered value of new and improved technology and process solutions.
Often, people look for the ROI from improvements to software operations based on cost savings in development projects. In most cases, though, this narrow focus prevents you from realizing the highest potential returns. Instead, the best ROI opportunities are found if you consider your overall business goals and challenges, looking beyond the software organization to relate potential improvements to opportunities for increased company revenue, service levels, or customer satisfaction.
This presentation will provide insights and guidance on how to identify improvements that will deliver the best ROI for your organization. It will provide tips on how to make sure that the projected ROI is fully realized through balanced solutions combining staff skills (people), process, and tools. It will also show you what kinds of returns are possible through some real-world examples of how to project and measure the ROI from high-leverage improvement areas in the software development process. As you will see, the resulting impact on corporate performance makes the ROI argument for process improvement a highly compelling one.
