Using Practice Outcome Areas to Understand Perceived Value of CMMI Specific Practices for SMEs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, we present a categorization of CMMI Specific Practices, and use this to reanalyze prior work describing the perceived value of those practices for Small-to-Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), in order to better understand the software engineering practice needs of SMEs. Our categorization is based not on process areas, but on outcome areas (covering organizational, process, project, and product outcomes) and on the nature of activities leading to outcomes in those areas (covering planning, doing, checking, and improvement activities). Our reanalysis of the perceived value of Specific Practices for the CMMI Level 2 Process Areas shows that SMEs most value practices for working on project-related outcomes, and for planning and doing work on product-related outcomes. Our categorization of practices will serve as a framework for further study about CMMI and other SPI approaches.

متن کاملDependency Analysis between CMMI Process Areas
SPI and in particular CMMI is being widely use by several organizations to improve their product quality. However, the SMEs are reluctant in adopting it and in particular maturity level 2 of CMMI, because they think that achieving this level is too expensive and do not see a clear benefit on it. Our solution to captivate the interest of SMEs in CMMI is the anticipation of some process areas of ...
