Abstract
Agile-CMMI alignment is becoming increasingly popular. The literature abounds with research and experience reports associating these two approaches. A new model, CMMI V2.0, and in particular CMMI-DEV V2.0, was published recently. This latest model only provides partial alignment guidelines with Agile, and the experiences reported in previous literature (referred to CMMI-DEV V1.3) are not directly applicable to CMMI-DEV V2.0. Therefore, agile organizations that want to align with CMMI-DEV 2.0, either from scratch or as a transition from CMMI-DEV 1.3, face a major challenge. In this paper, we apply the content analysis method to several CMMI Institute sources to bring to the light the Agile artifacts related to CMMI-DEV V2.0 Practices. As a result, we identify 31 Agile artifacts to address alignment with CMMI-DEV V2.0, passing from 0% to 41% coverage for Practices at Maturity Levels 2 and 3. These Agile artifacts can help to materialize the business value of CMMI-DEV V2.0 Practices and provide a starting point for agile organizations to define their roadmap. Consequently, the contribution of this paper is to present a detailed practice-level mapping based on which to design an Agile-CMMI V2.0 roadmap.
