| SPIRE
was a very successful European project, which helped a large
number of small to medium sized software companies across Europe
to tackle their first Software Process Improvement (SPI) projects.
Having
seen how much the participant companies achieved using this
method, CSE is giving other organisations the opportunity
to join a SPIRE Cluster programme, which will enable them
to apply the approach within their organisations.
The
SPIRE Cluster will take a group of companies through the following:
6 Training Days at CSE including:
- Introductions
to SPI, the SPIRE Approach and the SPICE model*.
- How
to achieve the cultural change necessary to make your project
a success.
- Assessment
Tool training.
- Relevance
and importance of a Quality Team.
- How
to select an appropriate project or process using the SPICE
categories.
- Planning
your next project and ensuring continuous improvement
The Cluster will be a mix of training at CSE and mentoring
on site. Each participant company will undertake 1 in-house
project during the Cluster and will learn the necessary skills
to tackle future SPI projects with confidence.
A
Mentor will also assist the companies with:
- their
assessment using the SPICE model in order to identify the
most cost beneficial area of improvement
- Preparation
of a realistic project plan for the improvement project
selected.
- The
implementation of the project
- Evaluation
of the results of the project
*SPICE (Software Process Improvement Capability dEtermination)
provides a framework through which organisations can carry
out a software process assessment. The assessment helps an
organisation to focus the improvement in the most beneficial
area.
