Monitoring the adoption of SPI-related best practices. An experience report
This addresses the challenge of effectively implementing SPI changes for software teams, but it is incremental as it reports on a specific case study without introducing new methods.
The paper presents an experience report on monitoring the adoption of Software Process Improvement (SPI)-related best practices, detailing the GEANT project's observations and the setting used for implementation.
Software Process Improvement requires significant effort related not only to the identification of relevant issues and providing an adequate response to them, but also to the implementation and adoption of the changes. Best practices provide recommendations to software teams on how to address the identified objectives in practice, based on aggregated experience and knowledge. In the paper, we present the GEANT experience and observations from the process of adopting thebest practices, and present the setting we have been using.
