Industry Participation
 
The Software Process Improvement Network is comprised of individuals who want to improve software-engineering practice. The individuals are organized into regional groups called "SPINs" that meet and share their experiences initiating and sustaining software process improvement programs. They meet annually at the Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG) Conference, which is co-sponsored by the SEI and a regional SPIN.

SPIN

SPIN
- Pune has been promoted by VeriSoft (Erstwhile Prabodhan) along with some other companies in Pune.

Every third Saturday we arrange a talk from an expert from our industry. The focus is on sharing of experiences rather than theory. These talks have been very well-received. On an average about 70-80 professionals attend these talks, which are marked by a lively Q&A sessions. Leading companies in Pune have presented talks at this forum.

The membership to SPIN-Pune is free of cost and so are the monthly talks. If you are in Pune and belong to the IT industry or the IT user industry, you should be a member of SPIN-Pune.

We also have started the SPINPUNE yahoo group which has a 600+ membership already. Email to spinpune@yahoogroups.com for any queries.
