Abstract


This paper describes how a software research and development organization implemented agile practices in adherence to CMMI for achieving a high process maturity level. This implementation has followed a strategy compliant to the Organizational Innovation and Deployment process area of CMMI using the Six Sigma’s DMADV method. The process for selecting and validating the agile practices that aggregate more value and the integration of these practices in the organization’s standard process are described, as well as the improvement results achieve in performance baselines.
Keywords: Agile Practices, CMMI 5, Approach
