Mapping Scrum method building elements according to CMMI level 2 requirements within the scope of a case study

The rapid rate of change in information technology is causing increasingly widespread heavy plans, specifications and other documentation based on contractual inertia and maturity model compatibility criteria [1]. In order to solve these problems, most of the software organizations have begun to adopt Scrum, which is one of the most used agile software development methods. The use of Scrum as a software development process is beneficial for software organizations developing a new software development process based on both CMMI and Scrum. This thesis study focuses on a software group which meets the definition of a small organization working in a technology company whose product portfolio covers a variety of products including embedded components and remote monitoring systems for heavy machinery exports. A case study is presented where in the organization has embarked on a software improvement process for one of their projects to conform to CMMI Level 2 requirements while simultaneously transitioning the same team to implement Scrum. The purpose of this thesis is to draw on a real-world use case to model a practical mapping between the building elements of Scrum and the goals and practices of CMMI Level 2 in order to demonstrate that the software development processes as defined by the Scrum team fulfill the requirements of a CMMI Level 2 project and to be a good reference to practitioners on this area.
