Mapping Agile Practices to CMMI-DEV Level 3 in Web Development Environments

Description

Agile approaches formally appeared ten years ago and nowadays are a valid alternative for organizations developing software. Agile methodologies are especially interesting to those developing Web environments applications, as they can fit properly the special characteristics of this type of developments. In addition, maturity models like CMMI-DEV (Capability Maturity Model Integration for Development) focus on assessing the maturity level of organizations developing or acquiring software. These models are well established and can increment quality of development processes to enhance costumers' satisfaction. CMMI-DEV level 3 provides a good compromise on maturity gained and effort needed. The feasibility of getting it through a combination of Agile methods can be very useful to organizations developing systems in Web environments, as they can keep the adaptability of Agile together with a more mature development process. This paper proposes a set of Agile methods so as to reach all CMMI-DEV maturity level 3 generic and specific goals. Based on this analysis, the paper proposes further research lines.
