Where do you keep/how do you organize all the documents that are created and needed? If you are an ISO 9001 registered company... How DO you convince senior management to sponsor a CMMI-based improvement effort? What kind of organizational infrastructure is needed to sustain an improvement effort? How do you deal with the "people issues" related to process improvement?
