A Mexican Experience Redesigning a Software Development Process Using XP, FDD and RUP

چکیده
This work focuses on the process redesign for software development and management implemented at a Mexican steel manufacturing company. The main goal was to improve the software systems production, maintenance and support; it was achieved by implementing artifacts and practices of RUP and Agile Methodologies like FDD and XP. Throughout this document we can identify the needs and problems on the software development and management faced by the steel manufacturer. To correct these, Business Process Reengineering was adopted, specifically Process Redesign (BPR). We also present some results on the implementation of BPR through its application on some manufacturer’s information systems.
