There is no longer a general EVHB (and the
abbreviated version EHB), but rather different
derived methods which are
represented in a uniform form (since all are
based on SEM-VM). Unlike earlier traditional
"manuals", these derived methods are
available in electronic form. |
 |
There are fewer phases than
previously (phases grouped together into larger
units). |
 |
The start and end of the project are more
clearly defined than earlier. The Initiation
and Termination phases
form the frame phases which
cover the two important documents - the 'project
decision' and 'final report'. |
 |
There are various models for the life
cycle approach - not just the
waterfall model recommended so far (spiral model,
evolutionary development model, incremental
delivery model, prototyping). |
 |
A number of themes have been given greater
emphasis in stdSEM than was previously the case
(or have even been newly included). This applies
in particular to
- Risk analysis
- Drawing up a tender (separate
subphase in the Definition phase)
- Domain modeling
- Prototyping (also
in the form of a life cycle approach)
- Configuration management
(with a separate CM plan)
- Usability
- Reuse (with
separate RR plan)
- Use and adaptation of
existing software (separate
subphases for Design and Implementation)
- Preparation of operations
(introduction planning, process
integration, etc.)
- Operations phase
- Recording and evaluation of process
experiences.

The degree of obligation
for results has been defined (must - should
- may). |
 |
There is also now a milestone
concept with prespecified milestones (based
on the majority of clients' process models). |
 |
The word templates have
been completely redesigned for stdSEM. They no
longer consist of pure tables of contents, but
rather of comprehensive, annotated tables of
contents and examples. |
 |
The phase acceptance meetings
and reports which
were previously unpopular are no longer mandatory
in stdSEM. |
 |
Hardware development now
has its own derived method eeSEM®.
This means that the general derived method stdSEM®
is now more streamlined than the earlier SEM V
3.0. |
