Historical Perspective on the State of Software Process Improvement

CMMI and ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE), the international standard for the assessment and improvement of software processes, provides a framework for the improvement of the organization of software development, whose application became a prerequisite for a software organization to be considered as a reliable business partner already in the 1990’s. They are related in this sense to the ISO 9001 standard, they are however significantly more useable originally in the case of the software, but currently in the case of arbitrary processes as well.
