Home | Past Presentations | About Us

NY SPIN is officially dissolved. This website will remain up until sometime in the 4th quarter of 2021 for anyone who still wishes to view/download any of the posted presentations. Keep in mind that although they are publicly available from the site, you do not have permission to use the content of presentations beyond self-education without first obtaining approval from the presenters. The YouTube page with videos of some of the past presentations will remain up as long as it continues to be cost-free. The flickr pages with photos from many meetings, mostly taken by Richard, will remain up as well, as long as that remains cost-free. You may want to capture the urls to those sites if you wish to continue to be able to view them after this website shuts down. The LinkedIn Group pages will remain up for now, so discussions about process can continue among those who are already members. It may shut down some time in the future, especially if it stops being cost-free. Our thanks again to everyone who ever volunteered with our organization; presented; was on a panel; attended one or more of our events. Special thanks also to every firm that hosted our events.

For 20+ years, NY SPIN provided a forum for professionals to meet, exchange ideas, network, and learn about principles and best practices of software and systems process improvement. We joined as part of our commitment to improving software and systems engineering, as well as placing ourselves in contact with a network of expertise within the community.

Our event participants were professionals from a cross-section of technology-related business sectors. Our monthly meetings empowered all participants to effect positive process improvement in their organizations around software and systems development and management.

NY SPIN - New York's Software & Systems Process Improvement Network.

NY SPIN Inc. was a not-for-profit organization. Beginning in 1996 it provided a forum where practitioners and thought leaders across all types of technology-related business areas met, exchanged ideas, networked, and learned about principles and best practices of software and systems process improvement. Participants in NY SPIN events included professionals from a cross-section of business sectors. Event participants were empowered to effect positive process improvement change in their organizations around software and systems development and management.

Joining NY SPIN recognized one's commitment and loyalty to improving the state of software and systems engineering, as well as placing one in contact with a network of expertise within the community. It was a practical forum for the interchange of ideas, information, and mutual support.

NY SPIN meetings were held monthly, usually from September through May. They provided a forum to network and exchange ideas with other business and technology professionals, as well as a schedule of programs, which covered a variety of software and systems process improvement topics and other related topics of interest to the business and technology community.

In addition to the monthly meetings, for many years there were Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that had their own meetings.

General Membership in the NY SPIN was free and open to anyone interested in sharing software process improvement concepts, principles and practices in information technology across all industries. Anyone interested in joining could easily do so by visiting the General Membership section the NY SPIN website. Companies interested in becoming sponsors were able to make their offer known by visiting the Sponsor section of the NY SPIN website or by contacting one of the Corporate Officers.
