In 2009 TomTom developed a model, called the MFM-model, which should reflect the maturity, feasibility and progression of a Personal Navigation Device software integration project. However, this model did not reflect all required aspects of the integration project and therefore was unable to correctly reflect the maturity, feasibility or progression. Furthermore, creating and maintaining this model proved to be too time-consuming. In this thesis we identify the problems of this model, propose a number of improvements to eliminate this problems and explain how these improvements have been implemented. In addition, we discuss how the model can be automatically generated from Jira and Perforce in order to reduce the required effort for creating and maintaining it. As an end result, this thesis will deliver a MFM 2.0 prototype which is an automated and improved version of the initial model. We will review this prototype by comparing survey-results taken at the initial situation and the improved situation. To further inspect this prototype, a small case-study is performed to analyze the accuracy, usage and importance of it.
