Author version abstract bibtex
Author version abstract bibtex In December 2003, the MPS.BR Program was launched aimed at establishing and disseminating a software process reference model - the MPS-SW - allowing micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises and large organizations to achieve the benefits of process improvement. Today, 12 years later, the achieved results exceed MPS.BR’s pre-defined benchmarks in several ways. This article aims to provide an overview on the MPS-SW model and present the results, describing its nationwide adoption in Brazil (more than 600 assessments spread across the country) and outcomes of two recent surveys concerning the impact of such adoption in the software industry. The authors planned surveys to capture the impact from two different and complementary points of view: the qualitative perception of the customers (sponsors of MPS-SW adopting organizations) and the performance results of the organizations that adopted the model (for example, concerning productivity, quality, and estimation accuracy). Results of the qualitative survey indicate that the adoption was motivated by both business and technical reasons and that most sponsors are satisfied with the obtained improvements and would recommend the MPS-SW model. Results of the survey on performance results indicate higher productivity, quality, and estimation accuracy for organizations assessed in higher maturity levels.
