TAPISTRY is a tutored process improvement approach tailored for small enterprises. The approach was developed, used and validated in an ongoing ESSI Esprit project (No 24238), called “TAPISTRY.” The TAPISTRY project adopted a downscaled assessment model of the BOOTSTRAP assessment methodology, called BootCheck, and developed a workshop-based assessment and improvement method, to form together a process improvement approach for small-to-medium-sized enterprises. In TAPISTRY workshops the participants are tutored in self-assessment and improvement planning by software process improvement experts. The resulting TAPISTRY approach was validated through the experiments performed during the TAPISTRY project.
