Capability Maturity Model Integration Implementation for Cyber rapid integrated software solutions (Pvt.) Limited

Abstract

Business processes are seldom static overtime they must evolve in response to ever changing global marketplace in order for an organization to remain efficient and competitive. In an increasingly competitive world, software organizations must implement effective processes to deliver useful and reliable software in time and within budget. IT organizations are adapting CMMI models to help them streamline their software development activities. Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) developed by Software Engineering Institute of Carnegie Mellon University is aimed to improve the productivity of software development. From CMM to CMMI, they have been adopted worldwide. The software industry in Pakistan faces the challenge of global competition. Continuous improvement of productivity becomes inevitable. To achieve this goal, recently, government and non-government organizations together promote the CMMI. Organizations now search for standards and guidance to achieve a mature process. However, change and evolution of business and technology imply constant change and evolution of development processes. In this thesis work researcher propose a framework that offers an infrastructure allowing organizations to define and analyze software engineering process at organization level or project level. Besides that, identify the gaps in the organization’s processes w.r.t CMMI standards. CMMI models define several Process Areas that indicate where an organization should focus to improve its software process. CMMI is not a process or process description it provides the guidance for improving the organization’s processes and ability to manage the development, acquisition and maintenance of product and services. A software development process is a structure imposed on the development of a software product, synonyms includes software life cycle, and software process.CMMI is one of the leading models independent assessment can be used to grade the organization on how well they create software according to how they define and execute their processes.
