CMMI for Small Businesses: Initial Results of the Pilot Study

A frequent misconception about adopting Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is that it works only for large organizations—its cost and complexity appear to make it impractical for smaller organizations to implement. Jim Hendrix, a business systems engineer at Analytical Services Inc. (ASI), doesn’t believe that’s the case. His organization recently implemented three process areas (PAs) of CMMI as part of a pilot study with the Software Engineering Institute (SEI). He said CMMI might even be more beneficial to smaller businesses because it allows them to grow more consistently and to make changes when they are less costly, that is, "before growth demands them."
