Software process improvement in small and medium software enterprises: a systematic review (2008, background): “Together with all of the above considerations, company commitment is vital (Dyba 2005), as is a firm belief on the company’s part that starting an SPI project will give it competitive advantages.”
Examining the impacts of organizational culture and top management support of knowledge sharing on the success of software process improvement (2016, methodology): “…mechanisms by which top management support facilitates knowledge sharing in relationship to SPI success, and thereby how it helps to sustain the success of SPI (Dyba, 2005; Niazi, Wilson,& Zowghi, 2006; Rainer& Hall, 2002; Sulayman, Urquhart, Mendes, & Seidel, 2012; Wilson, Hall, & Baddoo, 2001).”
The Future of Empirical Methods in Software Engineering Research (2007, result): “It will thus be difficult (if not impossible) to compare the results of one study with those of another [38, 42].”
Evaluation and Measurement of Software Process Improvement—A Systematic Literature Review (2012, methodology): “Software measurement is a necessary component of every SPI program or change effort, and empirical results indicate that measurement is an important factor for the initiatives’ success [11], [12].”
