Process plays a crucial role in the success of any software development initiative. Software development organizations can maximize the return on their people, tools, and technology investment through effectively selecting and managing their end-to-end processes. But the complex nature of software development makes manual management of the underlying processes impractical or prohibitively expensive. Automating these processes in a systematic and well-planned manner allows development organizations to achieve the benefits of process management in a practical and cost-effective manner. This white paper describes the role and importance of process automation in software development and outlines the key considerations in implementing effective process automation strategies.
