CaaS Deliverable 5.3 : The Final Version of Capability Driven Development Methodology

• The overall objective of the CaaS project is to create an integrated approach consisting of methods, tools and reusable best practices that allow digital enterprises to take advantage of changes in business context and technologies. This deliverable primarily contributes to CaaS Objective 1, namely, “to elaborate a methodology and supporting methods for Capability Driven Development (CDD) which is adopted by the industrial partners involved in the project and their customers”. To this end the deliverable presents the final version of the CDD methodology, which consists of a number of method components supporting different aspects of the CDD process. More specifically, methodology components addressing capability design, enterprise and business process modelling, context modelling, supporting reuse, as well as adjusting capability delivery at run-time have been developed. Furthermore, there is a method component supporting the decision making about whether or not CDD is suitable and how to get started. The methodology also includes method extensions for specific application domains, namely business process outsourcing, collaborative software development and project management office. The deliverable reflects the modular and incremental approach to methodology engineering and documentation in CaaS, which is manifested in the methodology components and extensions. The modularity allows for the users to focus only on those parts of the methodology that are needed for their work. The CDD methodology is described from three conceptual aspects – (1) The modelling languages in terms of concepts and notations used to represent the modelling product, i.e. the models and capability designs created. (2) The way of working, the procedures and tools used, in order to arrive at a capability design that fits organization’s needs, i.e. the modelling process. (3) The technical foundation and formal definition of algorithms for run-time adjustments of capabilities. The deliverable also includes extensive examples of capability design, context modelling and run-time adjustments. These examples are meant to support understanding and selection of the method components.
