軟體能力成熟度整合模式(Capability Maturity Model Integration, CMMI)中有提到組織在達到成熟度第三級時，專案可以根據調適指引調適組織所定義的標準流程，然而，實務上卻缺乏一套流程調適的建構方法，幫助流程調適的執行與相關機制的建立。流程調適（process tailoring）雖被視為軟體專案中的重要活動，但實務中仍是由少數具經驗的軟體工程師運用探索式的方法 (heuristic methods) 執行；近年來學術界對軟體流程調適議題的興趣漸增，但在軟體工程的研究中仍是個新發展的領域，國內外相關的研究仍相對稀少；而現存的流程參考模型或軟體流程標準，對於建立流程調適準則與建構流程調適方法等議題僅提供一般性的方向與概念性的指引。
　　本研究提出一套軟體流程調適的建構方法，其中定義了建立流程調適機制與調適進行的步驟與說明。本建構方法分成兩個階段、四個流程，流程下定義細部的作業，並明訂所須的輸入與產出。透過本建構方法的執行，組織可以建立自己的流程調適機制，並配合專案估算模式，讓專案管理者可於專案開始前調整標準流程，確保已調適流程能符合專案限制的時程與成本。

According to Capability Maturity Model Integration, organizations should be able to establish their defined processes in different projects by tailoring the organization’s set of standard processes according to tailoring guidelines when they reach maturity level 3. However, there is lack of a construction approach helping with the establishment of relevant mechanisms for process tailoring in practice. Although process tailoring is regarded as an important mission in software projects, it has been conducted by few well-experienced software engineers using their own heuristic methods. Recently, there is a growing interest in process tailoring in research community, but the amount of study is still a relatively low number compared with other area of software engineering. And the topic about establishing process tailoring criteria or approach in existing process reference models or software process standards are often defined in a generic manner.
This study develops a process model for constructing a software process tailoring approach which defines the detailed steps and instructions for establishing a process tailoring approach. This process model consists of two phases which include four processes. Each process has activities and defined input/output artifacts. Through the implementation of the process model, organizations can build their own tailoring approaches. Project managers can adjust the standard processes before projects begin and evaluate whether the estimated schedule and cost meet project goals.
