We surveyed 736 IS professionals in organizations at varying levels of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) to investigate job attitudes and perceptions. Although anecdotal reports and the scant preliminary empirical studies to-date suggest job attitudes and perceptions improve for employees as organizations climb the CMM ladder, we found evidence of a more complex picture.

Aiming to help small-to-medium software developers lift their game, the Victorian Government is providing $1 million over the next 3.5 years for obtaining Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level 2. While applauding the good intentions (and of course the funding), I have personal reservations about how this is being carried out. To be blunt, I think it is a big mistake to push CMMI ce...
