Improvement Projects
Considerable work has been put into the process of starting improvement projects in configuration management systems. With minor variations, the process is as follows: first, a half-day introduction to a specific improvement area (e.g., development models, requirements analysis, etc.) is held with all project managers, the SPI group, and the technical directors. Second, a separate meeting is held with the project groups that are going to work with that area. Third, a contract between the project manager and the SPI group is formed.
