2. What is the current Software Process Improvement technique(s) used for which you have data?
Agile Programming CMM CMMI Cleanroom PSP
TSP ISO Reuse Inspections    
Other (Describe):
 
3. Briefly describe what technique was used prior to the SPI technique identified above (e.g., "ad hoc", "CMM Level 2 going to Level 3", "0% Reuse going to 60% Reuse", etc.):
 
4. For what time frame has your organization used the SPI technique identified in Question 1 (e.g. 1998-2000)?
 
5. For each applicable attribute listed below, use percent, dollars, time, etc., to describe the positive or negative results obtained using the SPI technique identified in Question 1. Also, identify the year(s) for which the data is calculated (e.g., '99-'01), the formula used to calculate the attribute value, and provide any relevant comments. If necessary, formulae and comments can be included. Ex: Defect Reduction = 10% = [(Old # Defects - New # of Defects) / (Old # Defects)] * 100
