As difficult as it is to buy the right software, you’d think they’d call it hardware. You need to be an expert in how to buy software. You need to know how to write a software specification. For every business there are many problems or needs that can be addressed. Technology will only be able to solve certain problems. For every one of those there are many technologies that will work. For every technology there are many more products or solutions of that technology. And, for every product or solution there are that many more vendors. How do you know if the vendor you picked is even going to have a product, a technology or a solution that can solve your problem and that it's the right problem to solve with technology? First you need to figure out which business problems need to be solved. Then you need to narrow down which of those business problems can be solved with technology. After that you need to determine which technologies are the right ones to apply to solve those problems. Only then can you identify the technology product or solution to address those needs. Don't even think about talking to a developer or vendor until you've done these steps. CMMI can be applied to small companies and in agile development environments and methods.You can achieve a CMMI level rating even though you use XP (Extreme Programming) or another Agile Development approach or method.Looking for help implementing CMMI?

Software development paradigm shares very little with the manufacturing paradigm. Methods of performing SQA have not made the shift across the industry. Defense and similar large-scale old-style projects shaped much of what is known today about QA. Compared to today’s technologies and the speed to market, these legacy projects provide a very limiting pool of experience. Modern software needs QA processes that more closely fitted to each project, are dynamically adapting to the project and making development cheaper, better, and faster on every subsequent project; that truly add business value to the QA process. On time working product is a must. Processes must reflect the demands of the customer -- first and foremost. Processes must be adaptive and scalable to handle exceptions. Historically, legacy QA processes were not designed with attention to business goals. Latest models promote processes that add value but few implementations ever achieve that. Instead, companies supplement existing processes with a disruptive, paper-intensive process meta-layer which produces evidence that a process is being followed but do not contribute to productivity.
