Abstract
Researchers have tried to find out the pattern of rising and fall of Pakistani software industry and also the reasons for what is going exactly wrong with this industry. Different studies have witnessed that in Pakistan, the software industry is not following the international standards. Another surprising fact, being observed in the past analysis, is the companies which have initiated CMMI-based SPI program have not even achieved the higher levels of CMMI from past three years, which is an alarming sign of the declining attitude of the industry. Therefore, it has become mandatory to look for the weak points or critical barriers or issues which are actually, the reason for this slow progress of CMMI-based SPI in Pakistan software industry. This study has identified that the issues for CMMI based SPI in Pakistan are much different than what it reported in the literature. Giving proper attention to the root of the problem can help solve many of the problems in this regard.

Summary
Pakistan software industry is relatively new in the region, and its roots are not very deep. In 1995, it was felt by the Government of Pakistan that to guide and nourish the development of the software industry, ministries, departments and government agencies in the country, an organization needs to be created as no such existing department was providing the said services. The formation of PSEB is to make sure that it assists the software market of Pakistan regarding process improvement with the help of coping with the CMMI levels, human resource development, international marketing, making an effective strategy and promoting research providing innovation and enhancing technologies. The first project, "Standardization of Pakistani IT industry (CMM Pakistan 2003)" was aimed at bringing the top five Pakistani IT companies to CMMI Level 3 or above, was completed with a cost of Rs. 39.9M. The second project, "Standardization of Pakistani IT industry on CMMI" was aimed at bringing at least 18 companies to CMMI Level 2 was completed with a cost of Rs. 39.3M. The objective of running these two projects was to initiate CMMI activities in Pakistan, and create a base for CMMI implementation at the mass level
