development that meets stakeholders’ needs and ex-
pectations. The strengths of I-Tropos is to offer sys-
tematically structure and direction through the whole
software development process and enable tailoring
the process to the project needs. However, I-Tropos
does not point out how to establish governance rules
to the software processes while IT governance con-
tains the principles of governance to apply in the soft-
ware processes. The GI-Tropos extension also deliv-
ers a sequence of phases for a collaborative software
development environment.
Further works point to other additional practices
that need to be integrated in this extension to propose
a completed aligned framework taking into consid-
eration, for instance, project management and agile
practices (Ambler and Lines, 2012; Kruchten, 2013)
for managing the day-to-day activities and reacting
to changing requirements and feedback. Moreover,
mapping processes that integrate relevant practices
(IT governance, IT management, software project and
program management and software development pro-
cesses) to GI-Tropos should also be performed. In
addition, a CASE tool should be developed to help
designing and implementing all the models defined in
this paper.
