Asset Management & Reuse |
 |
Building IT Solution from pre-existing assets is the holy-grail of
software development. However without adequate process and architecture
reuse is often little more than ‘copy and paste’ of existing code and as
such reuse is seen as a ‘silver bullet’.This program takes on the
strategic objectives of reuse and guides an organization down the path of
actually achieving reuse through effective use of process and
architecture. Select Asset Manager is used to implement the management
of reusable assets within an organization.
Solution Elements
Reuse is achievable with the right enabling technology, process and
organizational buy-in. The solution starts with a 1-day strategic workshop
which defines and agrees the reuse goals and process within the
organization. This is followed by a variable Reuse Assessment exercise
which harvest existing reusable artifacts and sets the strategy and
process for continuing to reuse. Rollout training for Reuse Owners and
Reusers is next, with a variable consulting engagement thereafter to
ensure that reuse is institutionalized within the organization.
