In Stockholm Nov 8-9 a workshop on evaluating the result of SEMAT took place with participation from academics and industry. The report summarizes the discussion and quotes the participants. For instance professor Per Runesson (Lund Institute of Technology) says: "I would state that a generally accepted framework for software engineering would be very much appreciated, to base communication, teaching and research on. In that sense, I am very much in favor of the initiative. I can see that you have managed to combine a lot of good principles and practices, both for the engineering as such, and for the presentation and communication of work practices. I especially appreciate the "light-weight" approach, with the strive to reduce rather than add complexity. The "cards" approach is an outcome of that strive, which I think can be very useful."
