Premise: The quality of a software system is largely governed by the quality of the process used to develop and maintain the software. Basics: The first step in improving the existing situation is to get management buy-in and management action to clean up the software management processes (walk the talk, as TQMers frequently say).

Continuous improvement: Understand that this is building a foundation for continually getting better.
