Sistem Geliştirme Projelerinde Kullanılan Olgunluk Değerlendirme Araçları Üzerine Bir Literatür Araştırması

Savunma alanındaki sistem geliştirme projeleri büyük bütçeleri, önemli yetenek kazandırmaları ve karmaşıklığı ile diğer projelerden farklılık gösterirler. Bu projelerin tedarik sürecinde yer alan organizasyonlar, hızla değişen rekabet ortamında, maliyet, zaman ve performans risklerini en aza indirgeyerek daha az kayıp süre ve daha düşük maliyetle daha yüksek performansa sahip projeleri hayata geçirebilecek mekanizmaların, süreçlerin veya metodolojilerin arayışı içindedirler. Bu doğrultuda geliştirilmiş çözümlerden bir tanesi de olgunluk değerlendirme araçlarıdır. Bu çalışmada, literatürde kullanılan teknoloji/sistem olgunluk değerlendirme araçlarının neler olduğu, metodolojileri, nasıl kullanıldıkları, faydaları ve sınırlılıkları ile sistem riskini hesaplama yönü incelenmiştir. Özellikle sistem geliştirme projelerinde kullanılan olgunluk değerlendirme araçlarının sistem riskini nasıl hesapladığına, hesaplamanın güçlü ve zayıf yönlerine cevap aranmıştır. Olgunluk değerlendirme araçlarının sistem riskini hesaplamada yetersiz oldukları tespit edilmiş ve sistem riskinin hesaplanmasına yönelik yeni bir araç ve/veya metodoloji geliştirilmesi ihtiyacı ortaya konmuştur. Ayrıca, Türkiye’de olgunluk değerlendirme araçlarının kullanım durumuyla ilgili bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır.

A Literature Review on Maturity Assessment Tools Used in System Development Projects

The system development projects in the defense industry differ from the ones in other sectors with their big budgets, complexity, and provision of important capability. The organizations taking part in the acquisition process of such projects are in search of developing various kinds of mechanisms, processes, and methodologies to implement projects with better performance but with less cost and less lost time while minimizing their cost, time, and performance risk in the rapidly changing competitive environment. One of the solutions developed in this direction is maturity assessment tools. In this study, how the technology/system maturity assessment tools are used, what their benefits and limitations are, and how the system risk is calculated have been analyzed. It has been determined that the current maturity assessment tools are inadequate for calculating the system risk and that there is a need to develop a new tool/methodology that can compute the system risk. In addition, an assessment on the status of the usage of maturity assessment tools in Turkey has been made.
