Creativity and Innovation in SPI: an Exploratory Paper on their Measurement?
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, some software organizations have been successful at improving their maturity level, thanks to the successful application of methods and techniques which help them to achieve better performance and more consistent production processes. Models such as the Sw-CMM (and its evolutions and derived models) have provided roadmaps to process improvements. Creativity and innovation have been placed at Level 5 of the CMMI and the P-CMM respectively. A suggestion is made in this paper to consider creativity and innovation management earlier on in such SPI models. Also in this paper, we propose, in an exploratory way, a method for mapping, tracing and measuring creativity, based on two entities: the CA matrix and the Creativity Indices.
