While we have presented these concepts in a simple, straightforward fashion,
this effort actually will take many hours of hard work. Do not underestimate the
level of effort required to successfully accomplish these tasks.

Chapter 10
is CMMi right for
Small organizations?
This chapter presents two viewpoints concerning implementing the CMMI within
a small organization. A small organization is defined as an organization with 20
or fewer technical personnel developing systems. In a small organization, it is not
uncommon for a project to consist of three people. One individual may serve as
the project manager, developer, and tester; another individual may serve as a coder,
tester, and database administrator; and the third individual may serve as a parttime
quality assurance representative. The project may only last from three to six
weeks.
A point??“counterpoint approach is presented to discuss the pros and cons associated
with various issues and their operational impacts. The reader should be somewhat
familiar with both the CMMI effort and the previous models developed by
the Software Engineering Institute (SEI).
