Reviews & Statements

Software process improvement (SPI) is a systematic approach to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of a software development organization and to enhancing the software products. Here computer scientists and electrical engineers explore the approach and the important element of estimating the parameters of a software development project. The topics include a case study of process and productivity improvement in agile software development with process libraries, the influences of personality traits on software engineering and its applications, preventing the increasing resistance to change through a multi-model environmental as a reference model in software process improvement, knowledge management to support decision making for software process development, a method to design a software process architecture in a multi-model environment, and social network analysis for processes improvement in teams.
