The author and the paper Günter Koch 4th June 1947 Germany Professor at Graz University of Technology Process assessment: the BOOTSTRAP approach As of now 28 citations Elsevier: Information and Software Technology Volume 35, Issues 6–7, June–July 1993, Pages 387–403

The ‘BOOTSTRAP’ approach Main goal is to provide an advanced process assessment in order to get an organization to another level to identify process strengths and weaknesses to support the achievement of the organization’s goals by planning improvement actions Focus on Software Producing Unit (SPU), small and medium size software companies or software departments within a large organization

The ‘BOOTSTRAP’ approach Define organization Find its strenght + weaknesses Make plans to improve strengsths and get rid off weaknesses
