Rethinking the way we approach software engineering

Either your are a manager or an IT geeks, and have not heard about BPR or Business Process Reengineering please stop. Even  if you don't have time, at least google it and give it only five minutes. If you can manage and short tutorial, an ebook or attending a course or seminar on this topic, it it will be great believe me.
              During our formal education especially for those who have done their undergraduate in Computer science when we you ask them about software development; they will directly refers to programming languages, system analysis and design, software engineering , UML and more. That fine but the truth is that this mechanical approach to Software development is not always practical and productive.
               Many of those who have got the chance to develop applications and interacting directly with customers will just agree with me how much they have been disappointed. They have faced tremendous challenges. But what is the problem ?
  Software is not always about JAVA, ORACLE, .NET and so on.

 Do you know you have to deal with people ?
Are you able to conceptualize the whole operation of the organization ?
Are you  able to identify different work processes ?
 What is a Work process ? What do the client want ?
 Is your application able to  add any business value ?
 How can you evaluate that ? So many questions and simple answer is BPR ?

Please my phone is ringing, I will be back soon.
