Software Process Dynamics and Agility

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Software Process, held in Minneapolis, MN, USA, in May 2007. The 28 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of two keynote addresses cover process content, process tools and metrics, process management, process representation, analysis and modeling, experience report, and simulation modeling.
