PEM: experience management tool for software companies

ABSTRACT

Process control and improvement are keys to successful businesses. A working Experience Factory helps to achieve them but it is not easy to implement. The PROM Experience Manager (PEM) is designed to facilitate such implementation with a flexible visual interface to an experience base populated of metrics collected non invasively.
