Abstract :
Industrial software managers have been hesitant to adopt the results of software process research in part because the costs of developing formal process models are too high and because there is insufficient support for maintaining and evolving these models. We believe that methods alleviating these shortcomings will spur the adoption of process technologies. In this paper, we describe our work towards this goal
