The CMMI Institute developed A Guide to Scrum and CMMI: Improving Agile Performance with CMMI as a roadmap to successfully adopt and implement CMMI and agile together. The CMMI provides a framework or map of “what” a high-performance organization must do. Agile provides particular approaches that prescribe “how” to do it. As methods and techniques are adapted and evolve, the CMMI provides the foundation on which organizations can iterate or tailor their techniques in a way that is appropriate to the dynamics of their business environment. The discipline, organizational learning, and consistency provided by the adoption of CMMI supports organizations in making their agile implementation even stronger and more effective.
“It is meaningful to see CMMI increasingly being used in agile organizations,” said Kirk Botula, CEO of CMMI Institute. “Companies are always looking for ways to develop capability to ensure that their organizations remain on stable footing while being poised to pivot to meet new opportunities,” he continued. “The CMMI model guides users by providing the backbone to develop capability and improve performance across the agile enterprise.”
