Practices of High Maturity Organizations
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the last few years the Software Engineering Institute has participated in several workshops and site visits with maturity level 4 and 5 software organizations. This paper summarizes the lessons learned from those interactions with high maturity organizations, while preserving the anonymity of the organizations involved. Specific areas of interest include statistical process and quality control and product lines/families, but the observations cover a variety of engineering and management practices, including issues outside the scope of the Capability Maturity Model for Software. A survey was distributed to informally test the anecdotal observations about high maturity practices.
