Currently, agile methods are replacing traditional process-based methods in the software industry. However, process-based software development still matters because of its degree of reusability in new projects. Some problems arise when Knowledge Management (KM) is not correctly aligned with processes, such as lack of productivity and process improvement. In this chapter, the authors present a case study of applying two proposals of process libraries in an agile software development division. The researchers and the software development division worked with a Kanban dashboard, eXtremme Programming (XP), and SCRUM practices, adapted to Process Assets Library (PAL) and to Process Practice Library (PPL) in three software projects in order to find experiences of tacit and explicit knowledge that have an impact on process improvement and productivity. Under results and discussion, the authors present the good and bad practices.

Human resource management (HRM) is a recognition of the importance of human labor as vital resources that contribute to the goals of the organization, and utilization of multiple functions and activities to ensure that they are used effectively and fairly for the benefit of individuals, organizations, and society. Now human resource management has a unique and timely opportunity to improve productivity. Eventhough, productivity improvement does not means only increase the output. In addition, the evaluation of program responsibles and meets the special needs of employees with efficient cost. It is a very effective manner that very important, as organizations are tempted to cut costs and improve quality in their company. Without evaluation, it is very difficult to demonstrate that the development is the reason for the improvement. Human Resources Development can maintain and support productivity, as well as company isolate of lack of expertise of the human resources for the current job and future. The results are used in evaluating development programs include participant satisfaction with the training and development program development, learning knowledge or skills, the use of knowledge and skills on the job, and the results such as sale, productivity, or the prevention of accidents. Evaluation can also compare costs against benefits that receive development (return on investment).
