Abstract. Software companies have a difficulty on applying a software process to varied software development domains. this paper suggested a commonality and variability analysis method for software process tailoring that can build software process that will be applied for certain software project by reusing software process asset constructed by software organizations. If software companies apply a software process tailoring with the proposed method in this paper, the software companies can have an effect on increasing the number of opportunities to reuse a software process and reducing the efforts to reapplying a software process.

Mercury, an agent based process management tool, presented in this paper defines the work procedure and process by rules in order to enable accurate execution of the process. Furthermore, collection and refection of accurate data concerning the competency of individuals, the subjects of the process execution, allows prevention of weakness of the process execution result and is the basis for identifying the areas of improvement.Therefore, high visibility can be attained through the work knowledge and processes presented in rules, and it can help firmly establish the process centered work culture (or system) in the organization by process improvement strictly based on data.
