Abstract

We describe our experience on how we used the team software process (TSP/sup SM/) as a foundation for implementing a software process improvement (SPI) initiative in a small software development company. The Capability Maturity Model for software (SW-CMM/sup TM/) was chosen as the model to follow and the IDEAL model as the organizational improvement model for planning and implementing the improvement actions. The TSP to SW-CMM gap analysis and a Capability Maturity Model based assessment for internal process improvement (CBA IPI) self assessment were used to diagnose and guide the SPI efforts. In this paper, we present our findings and experiences on this SPI initiative.
