A corporate-wide software process improvement effort has been ongoing at Schlumberger for several years. Through the motivation efforts of a small group, productive changes have occurred across the company. We see improvements in many development areas, including project planning and requirements management. The catalysts behind these advances include capability assessments, training, and collaboration

The Schlumberger Laboratory for Computer Science (SLCS) was formed in 1989 as a corporate-wide resource to enhance the quality and creativity of software products within Schlumberger and to improve the productivity of software development. Because of a wide range of needs, it was necessary to decide which techniques SLCS's small software improvement team could use most effectively. The authors describe the choices made and the effectiveness of those choices in work with Schlumberger's engineering organizations. Through the motivation efforts of a small group, productive changes have occurred across the company. Improvements were made in many development areas, including project planning and requirements management. The catalysts behind these advances included capability assessments, training, and collaboration

... Organizations that follow a consistent process across projects have a significant influence on project performance because they transfer process knowledge from one project to another [11, 12, 52, 73]. For example, by adopting a standard project status reporting and review system, over a three-year period the percentage of projects completed on schedule improved from 50 percent to 99 percent [69]. ...

... There are a large number of previous studies that show a relation between maturity and some aspect of organization performance. Many of these are case studies (e.g.: [37,53,67,24,23,42,74,25,26,65,84,12,88,68,36]), which report on results that are achieved in single organizations, although about half of them do involve multiple units of analysis (e.g.: multiple projects within the same organizations). The studies focus on software process maturity, with one exception [36] that studies general BPM maturity. ...
