 | Standardizing Your Software Process Improvement Initiatives
Process improvement methodologies do not tell users "how" to satisfy their criteria as they are typically descriptive. These methodologies do not describe how to accomplish their goals but describe the criteria that the end results should support. Standards, however, are prescriptive. Standards describe how to fulfill the requirements associated with effective organizational process improvement and software project management. They are effective tools for the definition and managed improvement of the software development process.
