Abstract

To be competitive on a global market and especially in software development and software delivery, SME (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) should capitalize on their internal know-how. Knowledge management should be present in any software process improvement in order to capitalize on past experiences and existing good practices instead of introducing a completely new way of working. Unfortunately, most knowledge management techniques are targeted towards big companies because they require a large amount of resources both in time, money and people involved in the process. In this paper, we present preliminary results of an experiment made with a set of SME developing and delivering software products. In this experiment, we helped these companies improving the management of their knowledge by providing them with lightweight knowledge management techniques, adapted to their size and their context.
