Meeting Announcement
6:45 - 9:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 26, 1994
Software Engineering Institute

Agenda
6:45 - 7:00	SPIN Business
7:00 - 7:30	Refreshments/Networking
7:30 - 8:45	Improvement Successes and Barriers

Since our charter has just been ratified, your SPIN Steering Committee has 
decided to exercise some important aspects of that charter.  The mission 
states that "the SPIN is a forum for free and open exchange of software 
process improvement experiences and ideas."  One of our key objectives is 
to share lessons learned among the participants.  In addition, through the 
SPIN introductory survey in June, you expressed considerable interest in 
Benefits & Lessons Learned discussions.

Hence, at the October meeting our program will be devoted to the sharing of 
lessons learned.  In an informal setting, all will be asked to fill in the 
blanks:

1)	One major success that I have experienced in implementing improvement 
	in my software organization is_____________.

2)	The largest barrier that I have not been able to overcome is___________.

Linda Ibrahim and Mary Merrill, from the SEI, will facilitate our responses 
so that you leave this meeting with some ideas for dealing with common 
improvement barriers and have fun in the process.

Come join us!! 
 
Please post this notice, distribute it broadly, and extend this invitation 
to your colleagues who may be interested in software process improvement.  
We need people who can contribute their knowledge, experience, time, or 
ideas to make this SPIN successful.  Anyone interested may attend; however, 
for logistical purposes, please RSVP by October 24 if you plan to attend.

Mission:  The Pittsburgh SPIN is a group of professionals who share a common
interest in the field of software engineering and software process 
improvement.  The SPIN is a forum for free and open exchange of software 
process improvement experiences and ideas.  We promote mutual respect, 
software quality, and achieving higher levels of process maturity.  Our 
mission is to help sustain commitment and enhance skills through an active 
program of networking, publications, recognition of excellence, and mutual 
support.
