This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Software Process Workshop, SPW 2005, help in Beijing, China in May 2005. The 30 revised full papers presented together with 11 keynote addresses were carefully reviewed and selected from 111 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on process content, process tools and metrics, process management, process representation and analysis, as well as experience reports.
