Product Description
Review
"I'm delighted to see the work of the OPEN Consortium come to the fruition represented by this book. Graham, Henderson-Sellers and Younessi have done a marvelous job in coordinating and distilling the work of over two dozen OO methodologists, and you have much to learn by digesting their explanation of this highly respectable third-generation OO method. I highly commend it to you."

Product Description
The OPEN Process Specification describes a tailorable software development process (part of the OPEN methodological framework) that has been formulated to take account of the differing requirements of projects and provide a flexible framework into which project-specific factors may be incorporated.
Here the reader will find a genuinely object-oriented, complete, detailed model of the whole process involved in developing both object-oriented and hybrid systems. The model may be used in conjunction with any object-oriented method or notation, such as Coad, Firesmith, Odell, SOMA, or UML.
This book shows how to use the OPEN process to organize, plan and manage both large- and small-scale object-oriented software development projects. The framework for the OPEN process consists of interconnecting activities, which are represented as objects whose methods are the tasks needing to be accomplished. This model provides a strategy that enables professional software developers, project managers and students of software engineering to approach all kinds of software development projects and succeed in achieving timely delivery and high quality products.
As well as an in-depth description of the important activities associated with a project, and comprehensive coverage of the kinds of tasks which need to be achieved for different projects, this book also contains:

Format:Hardcover
This book gives a comprehensive overview of the whole object oriented process. It is well written and provides good technical information. The Open process described is a much better approach than that offered by the Unified Method. It is a full process.
Format:Hardcover
OPEN is the answer to many of the industry's problems. Sure it isn't panacea, but it is the next best thing we currently have.
Format:Hardcover
This is a book that provides a comprehensive discussion of the entire object oriented process. It really provides first rate support in terms of the design of a software engineering process. Well done.

Excellent but not very simple to follow
I don't expect any complete software process specification to be very easy to follow; this book wasn't. Read more
