ASSESSMENT AND IMPLICATIONS OF APPLYING CMMI AT A SAUDI PUBLIC ORGANIZATION

Abstract

Due to complexity of software and its related development activities, it has become difficult for software organizations to deliver high-quality products under low-cost budget constraints. Many software developments firms around the world have resorted to The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) to establish continually improving standard software development processes. Aligning software development practices with state-of-the-art standards in software development will consequently improve the quality of the resulting products and place the organization at a higher level of software development maturity. In this research, we assess the extent of applying CMMI at a Saudi organization and analyze provide an analysis based on a survey study.
