An annotated bibliography on software process improvement

ABSTRACT

Software process improvement is a critical problem that is currently addressed both at the academic and industrial level. The field is relatively young, and there is no "ultimate approach" to the problem. The related scientific literature is rapidly growing, and is more and more difficult to make our way in the plethora of different perspectives, approaches, and case studies. This paper provides a guide to the process improvement literature: we think that both newbies and experts of this field can take advantage from it.
