Estudo da aplicação de metodologia ágil para acelerar o processo da maturidade em processos de TI na pequena empresa

Abstract

Small software development companies have increasingly sought adherence to agile development methodologies to become competitive in the face of the market; however, agile practices often leave projects more distant from the objectives defined in project planning, the predictability of its execution and consequently impacting the quality of the product developed. The CMMI-DEV - Capability Model Integration for Development - is shown as an alternative to the maturity problems for these companies, proposing a globally recognized model that emphasizes the prioritization and formalization of processes, while Scrum emphasizes the focus on individuals and their communication. This work presents some concepts of software development, project management and agile methodology, complemented by a study of adherence between these two distinct models, agile Scrum methodology with the CMMI, applied to a small software development company to obtain maturity level 2 in their Project Monitoring and Control (PMC) practice, demonstrating the result of this application in Sprints through the Scrum Burndown chart.
