    Application of SEMAT Kernel
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2013*

Based on some guidance and advice for a colleague, the consulting organisation I manage has started looking at the SEMAT Kernel as a means to provide a framework and a form governance to our infrastructure and middleware consulting projects. The book itself, whilst initially academic in content, is very readable and enables you quickly to see how you can apply it to your environment (in our case an open source consulting organisation). One of the problems with any new methodology or framework is that it rarely aligns with an existing way of doing development or business. It seems plausible that you can take the parts that you want initially (in our case alpha, states and a governance framework) and fit it easily to an existing lifecycle. By then speaking the same language, communicating effectively and promoting reuse, the other, more fundamental parts of the SEMAT approach can come in to play.It's an interesting approach and this book provides a good overview, a readable format and some insight on how to apply it into practice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An interesting collection of concepts
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2013*

A book that acknowledges that there is more one software development methodology that works and provides a series of checklists and artifacts that would be helpful in the set up and management of a development project that could make best use of whatever skills are available in the team (rather than trying to recruit or re-train for the latest methodology). Most of it is experience based applied common sense but it is good to see it brought together in one place.  Well worth a read even if you don't buy into some of the grander objectives of SEMAT.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A significant step forward for Software Engineering
  

*by K***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2013*

In the same way that the invention of standard financial statements (Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss) established a universal platform for understanding the financial state and health of commercial enterprises, the SEMAT Kernel provides a universal platform for understanding the state and health of software engineering projects. The neat thing is that using the SEMAT Kernel does not prescribe your development approach; you can plug your chosen/favourite development practices and methods into the Kernel and gain the benefit of the framework that it provides for understanding, appraising, comparing and progressing your projects. I think the ideas in this book can take software development a significant step nearer being a mature engineering discipline.
