A Software Process Model Handbook for Incorporating People's Capabilities offers the most advanced approach to date, empirically validated at software development organizations. This handbook adds a valuable contribution to the much-needed literature on people-related aspects in software engineering. The primary focus is on the particular challenge of extending software process definitions to more explicitly address people-related considerations.

The capability concept is not present nor has it been considered in most software process models. The authors have developed a capabilities-oriented software process model, which has been formalized in UML and implemented as a tool.A Software Process Model Handbook for Incorporating People's Capabilitiesguides readers through the incorporation of the individual's capabilities into the software process.

Structured to meet the needs of research scientists and graduate-level students in computer science and engineering, this bookis also suitable for practitioners in industry.
