Abstract :
Recently, the Software Productivity Consortium conducted a benchmarking study of process asset libraries. The report provided a significant set of ideas for organizations seeking to create new PALs or improve existing ones. Even the participants with the most “best practices” found gems among other participants´ best practices for use in their continuous improvement efforts. The article discusses why we chose a benchmarking approach, the process we used in conducting this study, and key lessons we learned for future studies
