Abstract

Even after significant resources are poured into software development process, software development process maturity and productivity are still low. Organizational learning has long been realized as a key strategy for improving performance. In our research, we argued that organizational learning could affect the software development process maturity. Data collected via a survey of two groups that is randomly selected from Information Service Industry Association (CISA) and Information Management Association (IMA) members. The results indicate that organization learning have a positive impact on the software development process maturity. These conclusions should help managers revisit their priorities in terms of the relative efforts in software development processes.
