Patterns for Conducting Process Improvement

ticular Abstract: Process improvement shares many characteristics with product development. Recognizin these similarities is important, but so is recognizing some of the crucial differences. It is vital to the succes of improvement efforts to realize that process change entails cultural change. Numerous social a technical barriers must be overcome to effect lasting improvement. Ten patterns of successful softwa process improvement are described which illustrate some important similarities and differences betwe process improvement and product development.
