In recent years, with the continuous development of the software industry, the users'needs and the difficulty of technology realizing is also increasing. The traditional methods of software process management have become increasingly unable to meet the current software development. Sichuan A company has been used traditional project management methods in its development process, and with the low success rate in the implementation of the project, so the company improved the original software development process to establish a set of self-regulatory framework for agile software process. This dissertation focuses on studying Sichuan A company's software process improvement. Firstly the dissertation introduces the development of domestic and foreign software, and analyzes the current situation of software implementation, meanwhile introduces the concept of agile management. It then introduces the current situation and problems of Sichuan A company's software process management. Based on the actual software project, it shows the problems and drawbacks in the company's reference to the traditional process of software project management. Then the dissertation explains the change of the company's strategy, and carries out a software process improvement, establishes the company's agile software process management framework. Finally, the company supplements and improves its framework according to the company's agile management framework combining with practical projects.Sichuan A company software process improvement method is based on the IDEAL model. IDEAL is divided into initialization, diagnosis, establishment, operation and promotion altogether five parts. In initialization part it completes the grasp of the principles of software process improvement and some preparation work before it is improved. In diagnosis part, it completes the analyzing of the past problems of project applying process. In establishment part, it establishes a corresponding set of software implementation process framework for the company. In operation part, it completes the process of software development based on the company's implementation framework for software development projects. While in promotion part, it constantly sums up experience in the project implementation after improvement and can continue organizational improvement.The company used traditional software process management before the software process improvement, based on predictability and routine management thinking. In the implementation process, it couldn't adapt to the demand of change, and lacked flexibility throughout the process. Its project is a one-time delivery and often leads to the delivery of software not meeting the users'real needs. So the project continued constant rework and repaired the bias. The project will not only delay, but also continued to increase the company's development costs. After improved the software process, the company established a process for their own agile software management framework, mainly based on agile development process. Through the short rapid iterative development, it continuously evolved to an independent software body to deliver to the users to experience. This management not focuses on the process and tools, but on the communication and cooperation between people; not on heavy files but on the experience effect of operational software body; not relying on plan but a rapid response to the value of changes in demand. It has practiced the improved framework in population geography decision-making interactive systems, and has achieved good results, meanwhile has summed up the experience, and will promote in the company's next stage project development. .
