TLDR
SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination) as discussed by the authors is an international standard for software process management, which aims to build on the best features of existing software assessment methods and is developed by the International Standards Group for Software Engineering.Abstract:
In June 1991, the International Standards group for Software Engineering approved a study period to investigate the need and requirements for a standard for software process management. A new international work item has been subsequently raised. The resulting project is named SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination). The project aims to build on the best features of existing software assessment methods.read more

After the Appraisal: A Systematic Survey of Process Improvement, its Benefits, and Factors that Influence Success.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence from a much broader cross section of software organizations that process maturity does indeed pay off in better product quality, ability to meet schedule commitments, and other indicators of organizational performance, and the vast majority of survey respondents also report that their appraisals proved to be highly accurate and useful in guiding their subsequent process improvement efforts.

Investigating software process in practice: A grounded theory perspective
Gerry Coleman,Rory V. O'Connor +1 more
TL;DR: The study used the grounded theory methodology to produce a theory, grounded in the field data, that explains how software processes are formed and evolve and when and why SPI is undertaken.

Unleashing the Effectiveness of Process-Oriented Information Systems: Problem Analysis, Critical Success Factors, and Implications
TL;DR: This paper summarizes the findings of three empirical studies, puts them in relation with each other, and uses them to show that "; process orientation"; is scarce and ";process awareness"; is needed in IS engineering.
Book
Situational Method Engineering
TL;DR: This book presents the first summary of the state of the art for situational method engineering and offers a reference guide on features and technologies to consider when developing in-house software development methods or customising and adopting off-the-shelf ones.

2002 Student Paper Award Winner: Project Management Maturity Models: The Silver Bullets of Competitive Advantage?:
Kam Jugdev,Janice Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: This paper uses four resource-based frameworks to assess whether or not maturity models lead to a sustained competitive advantage and concludes that MMs can result in a temporary competitive advantage but not a sustainedcompetitive advantage.

Capability Maturity Model for Software, Version 1.1
TL;DR: This paper serves as one of the best sources for understanding the CMM, and it should clear up some of the misconceptions associated with software process maturity as advocated by the SEI.
