چکیده

In this paper we present the results of a reanalysis of a study of factors that influence the success of software process improvement [6]. The initial report relied on simple statistical analytic methods, largely univariate and bivariate statistics. The current multivariate analysis replicates the basic results of the earlier study, while adding additional insights about the interactions among and comparative importance of the factors that make process improvement efforts likely to succeed or fail.
