Resumo


O alinhamento de melhoria do processo de software (MPS) com objetivos organizacionais envolve decisões em níveis estratégico e tático. Este artigo apresenta um estudo qualitativo sobre a utilidade de um processo formal de tomada de decisão no alinhamento estratégico de MPS. A definição e o refinamento do processo proposto ajudaram a desenvolver proposições teóricas de forma indutiva. Questionários adaptados do Modelo de Aceitação de Tecnologia avaliaram positivamente tanto a facilidade de uso quanto a utilidade percebida da solução proposta. Os resultados indicam que um processo formal de tomada de decisão é útil e necessário para o alinhamento estratégico de MPS.
