摘要：Most of the software development companies around the globe are small and medium scale enterprises. These organizations are considered as the back-bone of the world economy (In the year 2008, more than 85% of the companies in US, China, India, Finland, Ireland etc are small and medium scale enterprises). These small and medium firms have realized that improving their process and working methods are crucial for their business, but they are lacking in the knowledge and resources to implement it. Successful software process improvement implementation is a herculean task for these small and medium enterprises since they are not capable of investing the cost of these programs. There is insufficient knowledge about which innovations are effective, and which factors influence th e adoption of software process improvement in small an d medium enterprises. There is enough evidence that the majority of small software organizations are not adopting existing standards as they perceive them as being oriented towards large organizations and studies have shown that small firms' negative perceptions of process model standards are primarily driven by negative views of cost, documentation and bureaucracy. In this paper, we present the current significant software process improvement methodologies for small and medium enterprises comparisons, and a proposed methodology for future studies
