A questionnaire based method for CMMI level 2 maturity assessment

CMMI, geçerli bir yazılım süreç değerlendirme modeli olarak yaygın kabul görmektedir. Bu çalışmada, CMMI ele alınmakta ve kendi süreç iyileştirme çalışmalarında CMMI’ a yeni veya henüz adapte olmaya başlayan firmalar için modelin birinci veya ikinci olgunluk düzeyi göz önünde bulundurulmaktadır. Öncelikli olarak bir yazılım firmasının hızlı değerlendirme yapması veya kendi CMMI 2. düzey olgunluk değerlendirmesini kolaylaştırması için bir anket tabanlı değerlendirme metodu geliştirilmiştir. Aynı zamanda bu anket süreç iyileştirme amaçları için de kullanılabilmektedir. Makale, 5 yazılım firmasında yürütülen anket sonuçlarını vermektedir. CMMI 2. düzey olgunluk göstergesi olarak bu anket değerleri ele alınmakta ve sonuçlar ortaya konulmaktadır.

CMMI 2.düzey olgunluk değerlendirmesi için anket tabanlı bir yöntem

CMMI has gained widespread acceptance as a viable software process assessment model. In this study, we take up CMMI, and consider the first maturity level or level 2 of the model for companies new to CMMI or just beginning to adopt CMMI in their process improvement efforts. A questionnaire based assessment method was developed primarily intended to be facilitate quick assessment or self assessment of CMMI maturity level 2 of a software company. The questionnaire can also be used for process improvement purposes. The paper reports on the results of conducting the questionnaire at five software companies and discusses its value as an indication of maturity at level 2 of CMMI and draws conclusions.
