What is SPA?
- A decision support tool for analysing the impact on stakeholders of software development throughout the lifecycle of any project via a SoDIS™ Analysis.
- A means to undertake a SoDIS™ Analysis to identify, in advance, significant ways in which the completion of the individual tasks (or requirements) that constitute a project, may negatively impact stakeholders, drawing on qualitative and ethics principles.
- A complementary tool for best practice project and risk management, providing significant improvement in identifying the broad range of stakeholders in any particular project, and enabling the identification of stakeholder-related risks and the treatment of those risks.
Features of SPA
- Supports multiple projects, each with extensive numbers of stakeholders and project tasks
- Contains default lists of stakeholder roles for specific project types
- New stakeholder roles and project types can be incorporated
- The core sets of issues used to form questions for a SoDIS™ Analysis can be extended by incorporation of new risk categories and issues
- Also includes 'Preliminary Analysis' - an assessment to establish readiness of a project to proceed
- Stakeholders identified for either a Preliminary Analysis or a SoDIS™ Analysis may be interchanged for the same project
- Designed to operate with any database with ODBC - currently uses a PostgreSQL database as the medium for the storage of project and analysis information, together with user account details.
- Supports file sharing between SPA installations - export and import of SPA project files
