The principle behind software process improvement (SPI) is that product quality is strongly influenced by the quality of the associated software process for development and maintenance. A number of SPI frameworks have evolved from this principle. However, these frameworks are comprehensive and differ in a variety of aspects, making them difficult to compare objectively and to select between for a company. This paper discusses four comparison methods that can be used on SPI frameworks. We have explored one of them further and propose a new SPI framework taxonomy. Our taxonomy consists of 25 relevant characteristics, which can be used to point out framework similarities and differences on a high level. An example of how the taxonomy can be applied to six common SPI frameworks is provided.
