Abstract :
This paper presents an approach to analyze the commitment of an organization to a software process improvement (SPI) initiative and to facilitate the interaction among the Sponsor and the Change Agent to improve the probability of its success. Two models are discussed in this paper and they include an organizational readiness evaluation framework (EASE) for SPI and a Game Theory model that facilitates the interaction among players in an SPI initiative. Both models are utilized to improve the organizational readiness and commitment to SPI. Details of both models and a real-world implementation are discussed in detail.
