Abstract

A system for development of a customised software solution, said system comprising feature definition means adapted to define at least one feature for development of said software solution; problem definition means adapted to define at least one problem in relation to said feature for development of said software solution; user value feature rating means adapted to rate user value of said defined feature to obtain a feature value score; user value problem rating means adapted to rate user value of said defined problem to obtain a problem value score; collating means adapted to collate feature value score and problem value score in accordance with pre-defined groups of score relevancy to obtain a perceived score; feature evaluation means adapted to evaluate a developed feature of said software solution to obtain an experienced score; correlation means adapted to correlate said perceived score and said experienced score to obtain a correlation score; and configuration management means adapted to manage features of said software solution in relation to said correlation score to obtain a customised software solution.

Claims

1. A system for development of a customised software solution, said system comprising:

feature definition means adapted to define at least one feature for development of said software solution;

problem definition means adapted to define at least one problem in relation to said feature for development of said software solution;

user value feature rating means adapted to rate user value of said defined feature to obtain a feature value score;

user value problem rating means adapted to rate user value of said defined problem to obtain a problem value score;

collating means adapted to collate feature value score and problem value score in accordance with pre-defined groups of score relevancy to obtain a perceived score;

feature evaluation means adapted to evaluate a developed feature of said software solution to obtain an experienced score;

correlation means adapted to correlate said perceived score and said experienced score to obtain a correlation score; and

configuration management means adapted to manage features of said software solution in relation to said correlation score to obtain a customised software solution.

2. A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said feature definition means includes a classification means for classifying features of said software solution.

3. A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said feature definition means includes a Kano model based classification means for classifying features of said software solution.

4. A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said feature definition means includes a grouping means for grouping features of said software solution in a pre-defined manner.

5. A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said feature definition means includes a Kano model based grouping means for grouping features of said software solution in a pre-defined manner.

6. A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said system includes a segregation and level formation means, with each level evolving in a synchronized manner and adapted to segregate said perceived score in relation to score relevancy and form levels of score relevancy in a pre-defined manner.

7. A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said configuration management means comprises:

configuration feature identification means adapted to identify said features of said software solution in relation to said feature value score;

configuration feature control means adapted to control and change said identified features of said software solution;

configuration feature status recording means adapted to maintain a record of said changes to said features performed by said configuration feature control means and provide a feed back to said configuration feature control means in relation to said obtained relevancy score; and

configuration securing means adapted to secure changes performed by said configuration feature control means.

8. A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said configuration management means comprises:

configuration problem identification means adapted to identify said problems of said software solution in relation to said problem value score;

configuration problem solving means adapted to solve said identified problems of said software solution;

configuration status recording means adapted to maintain a record of said solutions performed by said configuration problem solving means and provide a feed back to said configuration problem solving means in relation to said obtained relevancy score; and

configuration securing means adapted to secure changes performed by said configuration problem solving means.
