European Software Process Improvement Initiative

EuroSPI's mission is to develop an experience and knowledge exchange platform for Europe where SPI practices can be discussed and exchanged and knowledge can be gathered and shared. This mission is implemented by four major action lines:

1. An annual EuroSPI conference supported by Software Process Improvement Networks from different EU countries.
2. Establishing an Internet based knowledge library, newsletters, and a set of proceedings and recommended books.
3. Establishing an effective team of national representatives (in future from each EU country) growing step by step into more countries of Europe.
4. Establishing a European Qualification Framework for a pool of professions related with SPI and management. This is supported by European certificates and exam systems.

In 2008 the EuroSPI2 is emphasizing "Experiences with the Implementation of Methods and Techniques for Improvement and Innovation and Related Benefits in the Organisation". The conference will take place in Dublin, Ireland, 3 - 5 September 2008. The EuroSPI² Call for Papers and Tutorials has been published.
