Abstract

Since 1999, the Chinese software industry has been using CMM/CMMI to improve software process. By November, 2004, more that 180 appraisals have been conducted. But the number of CMM/CMMI users is fairly low compared to the whole Chinese software industry. In addition, the growth rate of appraisal numbers has fallen during 2004. Limited research has been done to find out the obstacles for the wide-usage of CMM/CMMI in China. In this research, by investigating most of the organizations who have been appraised, reasons, success factors and benefits of CMM/CMMI implementation are identified, problems which negatively impact the CMM/CMMI usage are analyzed. Recommendations are made to the Chinese software industry and government to solve those problems, which could help those who want to or are using CMM/CMMI.
