The industry-wide demand for rapid development in concertwith greater process maturity has seen many softwaredevelopment firms adopt tightly structured iterative processes.While a number of commercial vendors offer suitableprocess infrastructure and tool support, the cost of licensing,configuration and staff training may be prohibitivefor the Small and Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) whichdominate the Asia-Pacific software industry. This work addressesthese problems through the introduction of the RealWorld Software Process (RWSP), a freely available, web-basediterative scheme designed specifically for small teamsand organisations. RWSP provides a detailed process description,high quality document templates - including codereview and inspection guidelines - and the integrated tutorialsupport necessary for successful usage by inexperienceddevelopers and teams. In particular, it is intendedthat the process be readily usable by software houses whichat present do not follow a formal process, and that the freeRWSP process infrastructure should be a vehicle for improvingindustry standards.
