Abstract
Increased competition is forcing more software organizations to improve their processes. Along with pressure for improvement comes a demand for a cost-benefit analysis of the investment. A process-improvement program which Raytheon put in place is described. The results of a quantitative analysis involving six major projects over three years are presented. It is shown that rework costs have substantially decreased since the process-improvement program was started.Keywords
