Welcome to NY SPIN - New York's Software & Systems Process Improvement Network.
NY SPIN was originally established in 1996. In 2011 it was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization (NY SPIN Inc.). NY SPIN provides a forum for business and technology professionals to network and exchange ideas about software and systems process improvement, enabling participants to raise the level of knowledge and use of software and systems process improvement throughout the local business and technology community.
Participants in NY SPIN forums are made up of professionals from all sectors -- industry, government, academia (including students), professional organizations, defense contractors, and independent consultants.
Joining NY SPIN recognizes 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 is a practical forum for the interchange of ideas, information, and mutual support.
NY SPIN meetings are held monthly, usually from September through May. They provide a forum to network and exchange ideas with other business and technology professionals, as well as a schedule of programs, which cover 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, there are a number of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that have their own meetings. More information about them can be found below.
General Membership in the NY SPIN is currently 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 can easily do so by visiting the General Membership section the NY SPIN website. Companies interested in becoming sponsors can make their offer known by visiting the Sponsor section of the NY SPIN website or by contacting the Board.
