Processo para monitoramento de projetos distribuídos de software

Abstract

Context: It is progressive and significant number of companies that are distributing their software production processes around the world aiming gatasting productivity, reduced costs and improved quality. Therefore, the Development Distributed Software (DDS) has attracted large number of pesquisas in software engineering in recent years, and engineers, in recognition of the great influence of this form of work, they are looking for models and processes that facilitate production software, with geographically dispersed teams mind. In addition to engineers, managers and executives have faced challenges and difficulties, at different levels, involving managerial factors in spe cial as the project monitoring. Monitoring of software projects is crucial in order to obtain success in its development. As for the development of software, a technique that gained prominence is the Kanban inpreached by the agile methodologies, in this sense, it is also possible to emphasize the use of Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) models that presam for managing and project monitoring. Objective: In this perspective, the objective of this master thesis is to prove the following hypothesis: "A software distributed design can have cronograma of their activities monitored through a process to apply the technique of Kanban and modeling BPMN. " To this end, it implemented a process that applies the aforementioned technique, with the notation as a tool to validate the hypothesis. Methods and Procedures: In order to prove that mortgage is, we used the experimental method, which was attended by 82 participants, who tra-balharam dis-tribuidamente. Results: After the experiment, were systematized intraining; These revealed that the above hypothesis is valid, therefore the proposed process, which applies the techniques of Kanban and BPMN modeling is efftive in monitoring the schedule of activities in a distributed project. Espear that, with this result, Kanban technique, little explored in DDS is seen as advantageous for project managers distributed thus also me lhorar monitoring activities in projects of this nature, and expand the materials research in the area.
