چکیده

Background: Quality systems like ISO 9000:2000 and the Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) [4] describe criteria for good processes [10], but they do not describe a particular instantiation for such a process. This instantiation is up to the organisation implementing the quality system and it is a general perception that such an instantiation always creates bureaucracy and paper work. The before mentioned quality systems were developed for large organisations, therefore they seem not to be applicable for small organisations at all. Previous studies [6, 5, 8, e. g.] have taken this as a starting point to develop quality systems tailored for small organisations. Those studies have for example identified the most crucial problems through industry wide surveys [6, 8, e. g.] and focused their quality systems around solutions for those problem areas. In this study a small German software company with 35 employees at 2 different locations (Halle and Chemnitz, both Germany) is studied. The company develops a production planning and control system as a software product-line [1]. For each customer an individual version is created in a bespoke project. The company has only very few documented processes, from the quality system point of view the company is immature. Especially the impact of change requests on the whole product-line is not considered and no clear strategy for the development of the whole system exists. For example it can happen, that the same functionality is developed twice for different customers. Also requirements elicitation [3, e. g.] is considered to be not very effective, because it is too dependent on the ability of the conducting project manager.
