Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 143!\nIn the SPaMCAST 143, I ask, "Do you have management support?" I recently asked many of my colleagues what they thought were the precursors to beginning a CMMI change program. Almost to a person, they began their list with senior management support which makes sense as the CMMI has become the top-down process improvement framework of choice.\nShameless Ad for my book!\nMastering Software Project Management: Best Practices, Tools and Techniques co-authored by Murali Chematuri and myself and published by J. Ross Publishing. We have received unsolicited reviews like the following: "This book will prove that software projects should not be a tedious process, neither for you or your team."\xa0Have you bought your copy?\nContact information for the Software Process and Measurement CastEmail:\xa0 Voicemail:\xa0 +1-206-888-6111Website: Twitter: Facebook:\xa0 \nNext!SPaMCAST 144 features my interview with Mary Lynn Penn!\xa0 We discussed the CMMI, Six Sigma, Lean, SCAMPI appraisals and more!
