Could removal of project-level knowledge flow obstacles contribute to software process improvement? A study of software engineer perceptions

摘要

Context: Software process improvement (SPI) is one type of innovation often formulated to address problems such as uncontrollable costs, schedule overruns, and poor end product quality. This study investigates SPI through the application of knowledge management (MM) at the software project level, viewing MM, when applied in software development, as complementary to SPI.
