Scope:

Since CASE adoption is a subject of the broader technology transition problem, this Technical Report addresses the adoption practices appropriate for a wide range of computing organisations. This Technical Report neither dictates nor advocates particular development standards, software processes, design methods, methodologies, techniques, programming languages, or life-cycle paradigms.

This Technical Report will:
⎯ identify critical success factors (CSF);
⎯ propose a set of adoption processes;
⎯ guide successful adoption in consideration of organisational and cultural environment.

The following groups are targeted as potential audiences:

⎯ CASE users;
⎯ information systems managers;
⎯ chief information officers (CIO);
⎯ CASE suppliers;
⎯ software engineering consultants;
⎯ those involved in the acquisition of CASE tools and technology.

Therefore this Technical Report addresses aspects of CASE tools adoption. It is best used with ISO/IEC 14102 for CASE tool evaluation and selection.  It is complementary to related ISO/IEC documents which deal with the general aspects of these topics.

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.
