The primary objective of master thesis is to provide guidelines for managing a different types of software acquisition projects. Firstly, to provide guidelines is necessary to define types of software. Secondly, to create the ways of acquisition for each defined type of software and to create criteria that allows to select the right way of acquisition. During the analysis of existing software acquisition process models software types was defined: COTS (Commercial-off-the-shelf software), MOTS (Modified-off-the-shelf software), fully developed software. To have an effective acquisition processes, it is useful to employ an adequate level of formality for those processes according to the characteristics of the acquisition project. The ways of software acquisition was defined in accordance with defined software types and characteristics of acquisition projects. That can be used as a guideline on what level of formality is appropriate for the actual software acquisition project. To select the way to acquire software, there were created criteria that describes the characteristics of acquiring software, acquisition project resources and environment factors. CMMI-ACQ process model was used to define activities of each software acquisition way. Each acquisition way contains suggestions on what activities to perform for the different acquisition project customization. |
