“…Also, these authors argue that KM is useful in the definition of the software process in the application of a processes approach for SE and in the adaptation of software processes for future uses. However, a detailed review of papers published in the last five years, whose main subject is KM in SPI, led to the conclusion that the predominant approach is the knowledge codification, as it is found in , 2008a, 2008bCapote, Llantén, Pardo, Gonzalez, & Collazos, 2008;Cruz Mendoza et al, 2009;Ivarsson & Gorschek, 2011;Montoni, Cerdeiral, Zanetti, & Cavalcanti da Rocha, 2008). Besides, there are works that treat the organizational knowledge mapping from the building of knowledge directories, as can be found in (Alagarsamy et al, 2008b;Li, Huang, & Gong, 2008), and in the creation and empowerment of organizational structures to promote the exchange and transfer of knowledge, as it is found in (Basri & O'Connor, 2011;Capote, Llantén, Pardo, & Collazos, 2009;Li et al, 2008;Nielsen & Tjørnehøj, 2010).…”

Knowledge Management (KM) is a critical subject for software development organizations. For this reason, the purpose of this article is to provide a critical review on the way that KM is included in several models of reference of software process (SPRM). For this, five SPRM used in the Latin American countries were selected. Then, an analysis of each process of the SPRM was performed in order to identify features related to the KM. Finally, the KM aspects were mapped in relation to the KM schools (Earl) and the KM capacities (Gold et al). The main contribution of the paper is to show some breaches in SPRM content in relation to KM schools and capabilities.

Recently, many micro and small-sized enterprises (MSEs) have implemented a model-based Software Process Improvement (SPI) initiative. An initiative like this is a knowledge-intensive activity that uses and creates knowledge related to multiple areas (SPI knowledge) that should be managed. However, MSEs do not usually manage their SPI knowledge, which results in its erosion and eventual loss. This chapter discusses the importance of Knowledge Management (KM) for those MSEs that are implementing an SPI initiative. It also presents the knowledge created or required to accomplish the implementation of this type of initiative. Finally, it discusses the characteristics that a software tool should have to effectively support this KM process.
