An Agile Maturity Model for Software Development Organizations
Felipe Santana, Furtado Soares, Lemos Meira · 2013
Abstract—The transition from traditional methods to agile methods and the changes needed to achieve real benefits from them are difficult to reach. The change affects not only the software development team, but also several areas of an organization and, first and foremost, requires a cultural change. In this context, this paper sets out to define a maturity model that will guide the setting up and running of agile methodologies, based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), in software development organizations. Given the research question considered, the method chosen is a systematic review of the literature, followed by a field study in software development companies. Thus, it is hoped that higher rates of success will be achieved when agile development values, principles and practices are adopted.
