Abstract

The realities of the global economy are forcing US manufacturers to identify ways to control software development more effectively, even if the discipline presently lacks agreed-upon processes and standard quality metrics. To foster improvements in software research and development, interdisciplinary, cross-pollination approach can provide many benefits within individual and group settings. Using a popular training video from the construction industry, Hantos and Gisbert identify ways to overcome cultural, institutional, and implementation barriers to software process improvement.
