Abstract

Though, small organizations do not have the same funding opportunities as that of large organizations yet they too need of software process improvement programs. It is better to initiate a software process improvement program as early as possible, irrespective of the organization size. The small organization grows over the time and become a large organization and at that time an idea of incorporating software process improvement may cause economic feasibility for it. In this paper an attempt is made to analyze statistically various performance parameters involved in software process improvement for small scale organizations.
