CMMI Level-2 Implementation
CMMI Level-2 Implementation
CMMI Level-2 Implementation
Introduction:
Critical Evaluation:
Researchers not able to find empirical evidence about the issue, Why do
software-developing organisations not using CMMI? And all published articles about
CMMI describes only post implementation experiences of organisation whose
already chosen CMMI or implemented CMMI. Authors reviewed almost 600 papers
related to CMMI and they found, there is no published evidence or study, which
shows the requirements of organisation who have decided to not adopt CMMI. This
paper helps software researchers to analyse needs and requirements of such type of
organisation which mainly consists of small organisation in order to motivate them to
implement CMMI. The only difference I found in this paper was, it was old study,
which was conducted in 2006, and study was limited to Australian software
developing organisations. In this four year time period, market conditions changed a
lot, according to Software Engineering Institute (SEI), total number of appraisals from
year 2004 to September 2008 was 3000 and there was a continuous increase in
organisations going for appraisals. Small organisations also have similar increment
but at a very high rate which shows, now, small organisations also going for CMMI
implementations at a very fast rate then large and medium organisations. This all
caused because, now small organisations understand the implications, benefits
associated with CMMI implementation[ CITATION Hen09 \l 1033 ].
However, this paper was right at that point of time, because there was sudden
increase in small organisation going for an appraisal after march 2007 which is
clearly shown in graph mentioned above.
Conclusion:
This paper shows, increasing benefits of SPI was not only way to increase
impact of software engineering research into SPI, the number of small software
developing organisations is larger than medium and large organisation and most of
the small organisation not able to get any benefit of CMMI just because they think or
consider it infeasible or incapable to adopt. In order to increase impact of SPI
approaches, we need to target and motivate small software developing organisations
and make implementations of CMMI processes with little cost and time.
