Supporting Change In Plan-based Processes
Karen E. Huff · 2005
Change is problematic for process definition and enaction paradigms. The changes ,and their consequences may be complex, creating a ripple effect throughout the process definition. For example, a new configuration management strategy is likely to have pervasive consequences. The process being changed may not be in a quiescent state-active instances may be affected. What should be done about all the testing in progress when a testing strategy is changed? The problem of correlating process history (a record of the process steps executed:) with the process definition is harder if changes occur midstream. Testing or verification of changes is needed, but these are not settled issues for processes in the absence of change.
