Abstract

In a fast changing world, with more and more demanding clients, quality needs increase. To satisfy it, a lot of organizations producing software chose the Software Process Improvement approach. At France Telecom R&D, we develop this approach using the ISO/IEC TR 15504(SPICE) process model. The improvement programme we implemented was combined with risk management. To optimise the risk management in the programme, we chose to analyse statistically the risks of the programme. In this communication, we present how we set up the programme, the risk management implementation and the risk data analysis methods and results.
