Practical Experiences in the Use of Pattern-Recognition Strategies to Transform Software Project Plans into Software Business Processes of Information Technology Companies

Table 5

Mappings from source “Software Project Plans” onto target “Software Business Processes”.

Source scheduled tasks		Target process elements
Group of tasks	No. of tasks (Figure 7)	Process activities generated	Figures
Organizational Activities and Subsystems	#(1, 3)	Planning and control together with quality assurance activities; parallel development of subsystems.	Figure 8
	#(11, 40, 56, 61, 80, 94)
Decomposition of global task (Alfa 0.4) Customers: Networks Intervention into detailed tasks	#61 decomposed into #(62–69)	Process that represents a decomposition of a software subsystem into development phases. Phases that concern NDT methodology, which is applied in the context of software waterfall development lifecycle (Figure 11).	Figure 9
External subproject activities linked to a System Analysis (SA) NDT phase	#64	Decomposition of a concrete SA NDT phase associated with the application included in the subsystem #61 and related to SA NDT phase. Four models are generated; therefore, they may be compared to the NDT SA pattern phase (Figure 12).	Figure 10
