SME process improvement in regions of Europe

Objectif

SPIRE's objectives are to lower the barriers preventing SSDs from successful participation in SPI by:

raising awareness of SPI benefits among decision makers and change agents in SSDs
educating participating SSD managers and staff in practical SPI skills
helping SSDs to maintain momentum in carrying through their improvement plans

ACTIONS
SPIRE will generate, analyse and disseminate significant new case study and best practice material, in order to raise awareness of best practice and its benefits among small software developers (SSDs), and to promote their adoption of software process improvement. This will be achieved by using experienced mentors (paid by SPIRE) to guide SSDs through an assessment of needs, the preparation of a sound plan for a cost-effective, small SPI project (funded by SPIRE to a maximum of 15 KECU), implementation of the project, and evaluation of results. The experience gained ion the most successful projects will be published as short case studies aimed at decision makers in SSDs in 4 languages (German, Italian, English and Spanish). Data from all projects will be gathered in a standardised way, to permit analysis from which valuable lessons regarding best SPI practice for SSDs will be derived and published as a report. The results will be disseminated on paper, electronically and through workshops, both in the 4 participating regions of Ireland, Italy, Austria and Sweden, and throughout Europe. The partners are ARC Seibersdorf (Austria), ETNOTEAM (ITALY), IVF (Sweden), CSE (Republic of Ireland), and MARI and SIF (both in Northern Ireland). The project will be co-ordinated with other ESSI proactive dissemination projects DonQ-SPI and LSD, and will feed into the ESSI Best Practice Library, in particular the VASIE2 project.

EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The experienced and results generated and disseminated by SPIRE are expected to have major impact in raising the awareness of the benefits of SPI in a significant proportion of the 100 000 or so European SSDs. The impact will be seen particularly within the 4 regions, where it is hoped to substantially increase the proportion of SSDs undertaking SPI projects, but will also extend right across Europe.
SPIRE is also expected to have major impact on the 73 or so SSDs which undertake focused process improvement projects under the guidance of mentors. The impact will be of two kinds:

firstly they are expected to achieve worthwhile improvements in their processes, which will improve their business and competitive position,
secondly their management and key staff will be educated in the skills of practical process improvement, with most of them being expected to apply the skills to make further improvements after SPIRE is finished.

Mentors will also benefit from SPIRE through the experience gained in helping to apply SPU in SSDs.

Champ scientifique (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classe les projets avec EuroSciVoc, une taxonomie multilingue des domaines scientifiques, grâce à un processus semi-automatique basé sur des techniques TLN. Voir: Le vocabulaire scientifique européen.
