Applying statistical process control in small sized evolutionary projects: results and lessons learned in the implementation of CMMI-DEV maturity level 5 in Synapsis Brazil

This paper presents the roadmap adopted by Synapsis Brazil to implement the process areas of CMMI-DEV Maturity Level 5 in small sized evolutionary projects. We also discuss the results of applying statistical process control in more than 20 projects, and the lessons learned in conducting successfully a SCAMPI A assessment of CMMI-DEV Maturity Level 5.
