Abstract

For a Software Process Improvement (SPI) effort to succeed, its participants must have a sense of ownership. One practical technique for achieving that sense of ownership is to apply a meta-process based on the principals of configuration management (CM) to the SPI effort. This paper provides insight into issues of ownership surrounding actual SPI efforts and describes the use of a CM-based meta-process that successfully supported one of these efforts.
