Abstract :
While developing a formal software-review process, a working group at Motorola devised a technology-transfer model that is built on process packages, each one targeted to a different user group. Their model allows for tailoring, makes training and consulting widely available, and relies on champions. The approach helps development organizations focus on the technology they really need, devise solutions, and transfer those solutions to development teams. We report on experiences using this approach in the last five years (1989-94) and the lessons learnt.<>
