International Conference on Software Process Improvement



"Down-to-Earth" Software Process Improvement

Improving software process has become a crucial
first step for companies to survive the challenges
of delivering reliable software systems that meet
customer expectations.

Many companies have invested millions of dollars on
software process improvement (SPI) efforts but have not
achieved the results they had hoped for.

Everyone knows that a SPI initiative can be very
exhausting to the organization's technical and
financial resources. Taking a pragmatic approach to
your SPI effort is the only way to achieve
reasonable results.

ICSPI has been developed to provide only practical
and "right to the point" approaches to SPI. This
year's program offers 54 experienced-based
presentations in addition to Keynotes by Tom Gold,
Kevin Weiss and Surya Kant.

For those who are interested in more in-depth
instructions, ICSPI 2006 offers 18 different
full-day tutorials that cover different areas of SPI.

International Conference on Software Process Improvement



Process improvement is not necessarily about CMM or
CMMI, Six Sigma or ISO.

Process improvement
is about
whatever can give high return in profitability and
customer satisfaction with the resources your
organization can afford. It is about
whatever formal
or informal methods that can best fit within your
organization's culture.

This is how the
ICSPI conference approaches
software process improvement.
