This paper examines several extremely impressive examples of "successful Software Process Improvement (SPI)." The case studies examined in this paper were the result of a notion called "using powerful solutions." Powerful SPI solutions are examined in order to lead the way and encourage others that have not been successful with SPI, or have yet to try SPI, to use high leverage strategies as methods of making quantum leaps forward in bottom line organizational performance.
