Abstract
A network of 18 competence centres, called ESPINODES, supports companies conducting software process improvement (SPI) experiments under the European Commission’s ESSI programme. Three Nordic ESPINODES report on experiences from participating in this network. We focus on general issues using examples from our local activities. The benefits of the network as seen from the sponsor, the participants as well as their customers are discussed.
