ABSTRACT
This chapter presents two viewpoints concerning implementing the CMMI®
within a small organization. A small organization is defined as an organization with 20 or fewer technical personnel developing systems. In a small organization, it is not uncommon for a project to consist of three people. One individual may serve as the project manager, developer, and tester; another individual may serve as a coder, tester, and database administrator; and the third individual may serve as a part-time quality assurance representative. The project may only last from three to six weeks.
