Software Process Improvement: Results and Experience from the Field

by Reidar Conradi (Editor), Tore Dybå (Editor), Dag I.K. Sjøberg (Editor)

For over a decade, software process improvement (SPI) has been promoted as an approach to improve systematically the way software is developed and managed. Mostly this research and the relevant experience reports have focused on large software companies. This book collects the main results from four Norwegian industrial research and development projects on SPI carried out between 1996 and 2005. It concentrates on small and medium-sized companies, typically characterized by fast-changing environments.

I loved this book. This is a collection of very useful software process improvement articles from well-respected academics in Norway. I carried this book around so often, that I ended up squishing a banana on the cover when I left it in a book bag. I spent over an hour trying to get the banana off of some of the pages. This book is great for considering improvements in small to medium sized organizations and looks at what is going on in Norway. I found it very intriguing.
