The approach to this involves performing trial assessments and conducting a number of exploratory studies aimed at improving the understanding of the factors which influence process assessment. One of the most important of these studies is the reliability of assessments. This paper provides a general description of the phase 2 trials and describes some of the early results obtained by considering the level of agreement reached by assessors in rating processes.enobjectivesreliability of assessmentsSPICE trials004005006conference paper
