The project management SPICE (PMSPICE) process reference model: Towards a process assessment model

Abstract

Since the publication of ISO 21500, companies can be aware of the processes that can be applied for effectively managing the projects they carry out. However, guidance for assessing and improving these project management processes is not provided. The Project Management SPICE (PMSPICE) Framework will provide a process assessment and improvement model in the project management domain. This paper details how the requirements of ISO 21500 were transformed to develop the PMSPICE Process Reference Model (PRM), which is compliant with the requirements of ISO/IEC 33004. Based upon the PMSPICE PRM, a process assessment model will be build.
