Most problems in ICT development and maintenance are of human nature, not technological obstacles. The co-operation in teams and projects is key to success. Basis for it is a common understanding of the governing values and policies of the organisation and of the processes tailored to their spirit and fostering the achievement of the business goals.
Process engineering facilitates co-operation by providing the chance to establish a common view on how the work should be done. ICT organisations face the challenge to have enforced processes to reduce cost but keep the processes flexible so that the teams can quickly adapt their approach to the rapidly changing requirements. Besides process capability the attitude of continuous improvement is of paramount importance: nothing is constant, to master changes is key. Only fast learning and adapting organisations are competitive and likely to survive.
