| General Vision |
SPIN-Spain is an Association dedicated to Software Process Improvement under the auspices of the European Software Institute (ESI). With more than 40 Spanish members (enterprises, research centres, public administrations, universities, etc.) SPIN-Spain is part of the world-wide SPIN's network (Software Process Improvement Network).
Since 1994 regular activities are organised in its two sections, Madrid and Bilbao (about 18 public events per year). Some of them are full-day Workshops, others are 2-3 hours meetings with an initial presentation of specific topics, real experiences or case stories. The presentations are followed up by open discussions where participants exchanged issues, problems, and solutions on the specific topic from a practical point of view.
The primary benefits of participating in a SPIN organisation can be described in two words: networking and leverage. Especially because software process improvement is such a new area, the opportunity to interact with other professionals with the same interest is invaluable. People can join a local SPIN organisation to help them to begin investigating software process improvement or form SEPGs in their own organisations. The leverage that SPIN organisations provide is also very important.
