  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Because small company structure is very different to that of large organizations, models which help them to improve their software process must be created with this in mind. The author of this paper has developed and verified such a model, based on quality function deployment, the software process matrix. A summary of its development and verification is presented. Subsequently, the matrix was validated in two small software development companies during a longitudinal study and the paper discusses an analysis of some of the processes which changed as a result of its implementation—organization, customer management and project management. This provides some insight into the software process of the companies, both prior to and at the end of the research period. Generalization and validity to other companies, large and small, is considered. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</jats:p>
