Software Process Improvement is a critical element within a company's overall Capability Improvement program if software organisations want to remain competitive. Properly planned, managed and tracked, capability improvement initiatives provide concrete improvements in an organisation’s ability to consistently deliver quality software.

Quality here means on time, within budget and meeting the users' requirements and expectations.
