Sumario:The article discusses efforts related to process improvements at the organizational level, specifically addressing improvements to the process of developing computer software. The authors indicate that the U.S. military's concept and practice of capturing immediate feedback after every mission could be applied to the efforts related to improve computer software. The U.S. Army has a model instituted in 1981 for identifying process performer-generated PIP (process improvement proposals) called the After Action Review (AAR) method. Within the AAR concept, teams in the Army use interactive team discussions to foster improvements in specific processes.
