Abstract
It has been demonstrated by several case studies that SPI programs generate a substantial benefit, especially for organizations with immature processes. However, experience shows, that there is little buy in to SPI programs from these organizations. The reason is the step by step approach in ISO 15504 and as well in CMMi (Staged) especially the lack of ability to deliver sufficient data for planning and confirming improvements. In these cases a measurement oriented approach might work better because it increases the probability of senior management commitment by focusing aspects which are in the range of management perception.
