a critical look at cmm and agile through gen y
DESCRIPTION
Much has been written about the commonality or even the lack of it between Agile and CMM. CMM claims to be a flexible model that can be tailored and adapted to many life cycles. This facilitated attempts to bring-in the iterative life cycles and practices of Agile under CMM model. However, the debate on their compatibility continued as is evident in Kevin Trethewey‘s blog, which is one of many of its kinds.The continued discussion is evident enough that it is not sufficient to compare practice to practice and arrive at any reasonable conclusion about their overall compatibility.TRANSCRIPT

then critique XP from a SW-CMM perspective..”
CMMI® or Agile: Why Not Embrace Both!3
“Agile development methods and CMMI best practices are often perceived to be at odds with each other. This report clarifies why
the discord need not exist and proposes that CMMI and Agile champions work toward deriving benefit from using both and
exploit synergies that have the potential to dramatically improve business performance..”
Stretching Agile to fit CMMI Level 4
“…This is the story of how mixing Deming with Agile produced a lightweight CMMI solution for .Net developers everywhere…”

“Predicting the ability of the process to achieve the established quantitative
objectives requires a quantitative understanding of the contributions of the subprocesses that are critical to
achieving these objectives and establishing and managing against interim quantitative objectives over
time.”

“But what holds everything together? It is the processes used in your organization. Processes allow you to align the way you do business. They allow you to address scalability and provide a way to incorporate knowledge of how to do things better. Processes allow you to leverage your resources and to examine business trends.”

“The job of the quality department was felt to be policing rather than playing an important role in developing the
system.”
“The perennial problem is that of employees not being too keen on the
processes and treating processes as a burden. New entrants still feel that
documentation is a hell of work and the tendency for last minute documentation is a common
phenomenon.”
