An Agile Development Team's Quest for CMMI® Maturity Level 5

Abstract

Pragmatics performs agile development, has been rated at CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) Maturity Level 4, and is striving to achieve CMMI Maturity Level (CML) 5. By maturing our agile disciplines, we feel we will not only improve the performance of our agile teams, which will ultimately benefit our agile development practices regardless of our appraisal rating, but will also lead to our being appraised at CML 5. This experience report describes the steps we are taking to improve our agile development disciplines, which we believe will lead to our being appraised at CML 5.
