The ProjectIT Initiative and the ProjectIT-Studio, an integrated environment for the development of information systems

Despite the efforts made to overcome the problems
associated with the development of information systems, it is still an immature
activity with negative consequences in time, budget and quality. One of the
main causes for this situation is the fact that many projects do not
follow a structured, standard and systematic approach, like the
methodologies and best practices proposed by the Software Engineering community.
In this presentation, we overview an innovative approach for the
Development of information systems, called ProjectIT, and how it is supported
by an integrated set of tools, called “ProjectIT-Studio”. Our approach benefits
from the ideas of other initiatives, such as the Microsoft Dynamic Systems
Initiative (DSI) or OMG Model Driven Architecture (MDA), as well as
contributes from the Requirements Engineering area.
