Abstract

This article summarizes a management design theory in the form of technological rules for software process improvement. A general model of the improvement recommendation process can include four elements: agenda, observation, analysis and synthesis. This model supports a design theory in the form of technological rules for each of the four elements. This design theory is useful as a framework in which practitioners can better manage their software process improvement process through more precise orientation of their organization and their goals.
