Reference Model and Evaluation Method for Software Process Improvement - version 1.0 (MR-MPS and MA-MPS)
Abstract
This paper describes a Process Reference Model (MR-MPS) and a Process Assessment Model (MA-MPS), that are being developed in the MPS.BR Project – a Brazilian software process improvement project. MR- MPS and MA-MPS were created according to the Brazilian reality and they aim at the full compatibility with CMMI and the conformance with ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15504. The MPS Model is described in three documents: a general guide, an assessment guide, and an acquisition guide. This paper also presents the initial outcomes of the project. The MPS Model has a great potential to be replicated to many cities in Brazil and other countries with similar software industry characteristics, such as in Latin America.
