Description
In Stakeholder and Risk Management with SoDIS™ the authors explain the theory behind the SoDIS Process® and present information to justify undertaking a SoDIS™ Analysis as part of project management. Also provided is practical guidance on the application of SoDIS™ Project Auditor (SPA), as well as how to use SPA to maximise the benefits of undertaking a SoDIS™ Analysis, including as part of a SoDIS™ Inspection Process. The section titled 'History of SoDIS' captures the 'SoDIS journey' through which the value and on-going application of the SoDIS™ methodology has been demonstrated. Although SoDIS™ has arisen in the context of software development, the methodology captured in the SoDIS process® and reflected in SPA is equally applicable in other project domains.
The SoDIS Process® expands on the generally applied software development risk analysis methods by explicitly addressing a range of qualitative questions about the potential impacts of a development from differing stakeholder perspectives.
There are many valuable practical project management tools available to aid managers in tracking their projects but none address what the fundamental pre-requisites to aiding the identification of potential problems in advance, recording that information, identifying possible solutions and recording and tracking implementation of those solutions. In other words providing a mechanism for guiding managers, recording their thoughts and analyses, checking progress, and generating an audit trail, which becomes the basis for learning and improvement for subsequent projects. The SoDIS process® and the associated SoDIS™ Project Auditor tool are that mechanism.
