A tentative framework for connecting long-term business and product planning with iterative & incremental software product development
Jarno Vähäniitty · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2005
For a company in the software product business, it is essential to understand how to connect business management and software development [17] and employ a solid, value-based approach in its decision-making. However, software engineering literature (SE) commonly addresses what should be done at the "floor level" and leaves the link to business and product management unaddressed [14]. Also, existing software development models mostly adhere to the viewpoint of individual development projects and thus fail to sufficiently address common product development concerns such as multi-project or project portfolio management [20].
