Software Process Improvement Case Study

The company’s main business objective is the development and growth of its customer base. The impact of this growth is that the organisation is becoming increasingly involved in larger projects, therefore increasing the size of software development teams. Management at Peregrine became aware that their current approach to source code management would not be adequate to handle this change. It was becoming increasingly necessary to introduce source code management procedures and also the tools to support them. Additionally, a requirement was identified for an improved defect reporting and tracking system.
