Factors that influence the migration from MPS.BR to CMMI in Brazilian software companies
Abstract
The software industry in Brazil are increasingly investing in software process improvement, being MPS an economically viable model. However, several national companies have migrated their MPS ssessment to CMMI. In this context, this research aims to identify the factors that influence the migration of MPS model to CMMI. Were analyzed the lists of companies assessed by MPS and CMMI, also was performed a non-systematic review of the literature and two surveys. It was found evidences about migration from MPS initial levels to CMMI, the factors related to internationalization, and requirement of ustomers were identified as key motivators.
Keywords:
Factors, migration, companies
