Brilliant book that introduces software process improvement through the application of statistical process control for software. The concepts in this book provided the basis for the Capability Maturity Model (CMM), conceived by Watts Humphrey as a way of assessing an organisation's existing process capability, and then providing a roadmap for further improvement. Software practitioners and managers should read this book, to understand the fundamentals of process improvement, and how a structured approach can lead their organisation to impeccable levels of software quality, as evidenced by it's application to NASA's On-Board Space Shuttle project in the 80s and 90s.
