Applying a Composite Process Framework (CPF) in Real Life Software Development Project

This paper presents the outcome of an action research study that was conducted to validate the application of a Composite Process Framework (CPF) in real life software development project. This research extends an existing application software development methodology to incorporate the composite process framework and tailor it to meet the needs of a particular software development project. This paper also discusses the importance of the agile approach to software development and its role in the CPF. This is so because the CPF aims a proper balance of ceremony and agility in a project - based on an argument that no single dasiatypepsila of process appears to be suitable for software development projects.
