Abstract
In the today software world CMMI® business benefits are well known and incontestable. Following the CMMI® principles conducts to improvements and great results in the software companies in many areas. However, CMMI® is often associated by software developers with lots of maintenance work or lots of documentation. So, what about obtaining more benefits from the CMMI® implementation and changing the perception of these people?
In the today world, talented people want to be more and more involved in the way their work is organized. They want to be more productive and to feel they are part of the business. Scrum is a way of organizing a business around the team. Inspired from the Toyota way, it proved to be extremely successful for businesses and teams. Scrum is about self-organized teams and about being extremely productive.
Combining the two ways of organizing projects and teams, making a step foreward and choosing the CMMI® and Scrum's flavor conducts to great results in software companies.
