4. Software Disaster Examples
Software development costs more time/money/resources than anticipated
Initial planning for a software project estimated $250K and 9 months. But after $2.5 Million and two years, they still need $1M to complete; program is cancelled.
System delivers only half of promised features
System operates so slowly that it is unusable

5. Process Improvement Software disasters are costing lots of money
Software becomes a large part of almost every manufactured product
We know that good products come of out of good processes
Process improvement is being recognized as the core solution behind software development problems

18. ISO 15504 History Working group was formed in 1993
SPICE = Software Process Improvement and Capability Evaluation  dEtermination
Major revision on 2004, related with ISO 12207
Maturity model integrated as ISO/IEC Part 7 in 2008

25. An Example Assessment

26. Exemplar Organizational Maturity model for ISO 15504

28. Similarities & Differences
CMMI and ISO/IEC both can be used for software process improvement.
CMMI and ISO/IEC has assessment methods.
Although CMMI began with staged representation, it has adopted continous representation. Vice versa is true for ISO/IEC
CMMI has specific and generic goals, ISO/IEC has process attributes.

29. Similarities & Differences
CMMI gives a single maturity rating for the organization (staged). ISO/IEC gives a rating for each process area.
CMMI is proprietary, it belongs to SEI. ISO/IEC is publicly available through National Standards Bodies. (TSE made the first assessment in 2010)

30. Similarities & Differences
CMMI is actively sponsored by the US Department of Defense. ISO/IEC has the support of the international community.
CMMI has only software development, services and acquisition extensions. ISO/IEC is applied to major sectors such as automotive, space and medical systems.

31. Similarities & Differences
The CMM was created first, and reached critical 'market' share before ISO/IEC became available.
The CMM has subsequently been replaced by the CMMI, which incorporates many of the ideas of ISO/IEC 15504, but also retains the benefits of the CMM.
ISO/IEC is not available as free download but must be purchased from the ISO. CMMI is available as free downloads from the SEI website.
