Thisincludes domain-specific issues.E-25 What is the appropriate degree of commonality of processes/procedures (e.g., across multiple sites, disciplines, and cultures)?E-26 How to understand the difference between different domains withrespect to processes and measurement?E-27 What effects do different domains have on the selection criteriafor processes?E-28 How can process line engineering be aligned with product lineengineering?E-29 How should a process architecture be constructed for a processasset base?E-30 How can the right process elements be identified in the asset basefor a specific project as a function of product requirements andteam competence?TailoringE-31 Can a formal approach, based on a sound theoretical basis,be developed to address the tailoring of processes for specificimplementations?E-32 What are the organizational and environmental factors that affecttailoring choices (e.g., tailoring for small enterprises or for agiledevelopment)?E-33 How can we tailor processes with predictable effects onefficiency?E-34 How can processes be designed for easy tailoring?E-35 How to specify processes including variability?IPRC Framework | Theme E 35
