A software process assessment model and a tool for XP@SCRUM agile method

Abstract

In today's fast and competitive world, Agile Methods has become popular by software producers because for their high-speed, flexibility and responding to change quickly. These methods have been criticized as undisciplined way of hacking. However, these methods are disciplined processes that incorporate good engineer and management practices, albeit with extreme implementations tailored to a specific kind of environment. [35] Mark Paulk showed that organizations applying XP can reach CMM Level 2 and Level3. These methods do not have improvement guide and capability determination. There might be differences between the organizations applying these methods. In this thesis, I will propose a software process assessment model and a tool for proposed model. My approach is selecting an assessment model as a guide and selecting an agile method as target method.
