Research Framework Background Research Framework | Background | Available Assets The framework provides an answer to the IPRC's focal question: How should the community represented by the IPRC membership invest in process research over the next 10 years? To answer this question, the IPRC's 27 members developed a shared understanding of drivers that influence both the evolution of and unexpected change in software and systems and the organizations that acquire or produce software and systems. Together the members have considered drivers of a societal, technological, political, environmental, economic, and business nature and used their experience and imagination to envision plausible scenarios for the next decade. The following priority drivers were considered in this first edition of the IPRC Research Framework:
By combining these drivers in interesting and plausible ways, the members developed a research framework that targets future plausible scenarios and responds to known and emerging trends. The resulting framework describes the gaps in today's process capabilities that need to be overcome in order to enable the software, systems, and organizations envisioned for the next decade. The framework also lays out several strategies for closing those gaps. While A Process Research Framework represents an intersection of the set of possible research topics and the priorities of the IPRC members, the members believe that others will find the framework to be a useful guide in defining their process research strategies.
