Software product architectural integrity during organizational distress. - 105 p.

Thesis (M.Eng.)--Carleton University (Canada), 2006.

This thesis uses a grounded theory approach to study the relationship between the architecture of a software telecommunications product, the structure of its development organization, and the market for the product during the severe downturn in the telecommunications industry during 2001 and 2002. The research was motivated by Conway's Law which maintains that the architecture of a product mirrors the organization that builds it.

520 $a This thesis uses a grounded theory approach to study the relationship between the architecture of a software telecommunications product, the structure of its development organization, and the market for the product during the severe downturn in the telecommunications industry during 2001 and 2002. The research was motivated by Conway's Law which maintains that the architecture of a product mirrors the organization that builds it.
520 $a Although the development organization for the product studied was severely downsized during the study period, its market remained very robust. This meant that the development organization used the architecture to develop many new product features with fewer resources. The research premise was that as the development organization shrank and new features were delivered, the product architecture would degrade correspondingly. Detailed data was collected on the product architecture, the development organization and the market.
520 $a Contrary to expectations, the product architecture did not degrade during the study period. On the other hand, post deployment error rates did increase. The major conclusion of the research is that unlike error creation and elimination, software architecture integrity is not a manpower issue. In small, well-integrated development organizations, software architecture need not degrade even when those organizations are severely stressed by having to do more with less.
520 $a Based on this research result, several managerial recommendations are made on how to maintain software product architecture integrity during organizational stress.
