Abstract

Although a classic staged maturity framework with 5 levels was introduced by W. S. Humphrey back in 1988, its basic ideas remain essentially unchanged and they are still employed in CMMI and other maturity models. ISO/IEC 15504, formerly known as SPICE, has promoted a continuous model for process capability assessment. Not long ago SPICE community recognized the benefits of a staged representation. As a result, the organizational maturity framework has been introduced in ISO/IEC 15504-7:2008. It should be noted that this new framework defines 6 maturity levels. This paper investigates relationship between CMMI-DEV and ISO/IEC 15504 maturity levels. It presents the mapping approach and correspondence of CMMI-DEV and ISO/IEC 15504 maturity levels.
