Improving Processes in Small Settings (IPSS)

Joining the Project   |   Available Assets

For organizations that rely on small businesses, groups, or projects in their software and systems development chain, the SEI is offering the Improving Processes in Small Settings (IPSS) project. 

This research initiative improves the transition of effective practices into small settings. Unlike previous efforts that focused on process improvement at the enterprise or global level, in the IPSS project we look at the context of processes and process improvement at more local levels and develop guidance for success in small setting process improvement.

For further background on the IPSS, view the IPSS Background page.
