In December 2003 a Brazilian nationwide program was created aiming at improving software processes. The MPS.BR Program is responsible for a great evolution in the software development scenario in Brazil by providing the means to support software process improvement initiatives based on the MPS Model. In 2008 a project named iMPS was launched to enable the analysis of the Performance Results of organizations that adopted the MPS Model. This paper describes some of the findings of the studies that have already been conducted. Preliminary evidences show improvement trends regarding cost, quality, schedule, and productivity, especially for those organizations that adopted the MPS Model for continuous improvement purposes. © 2010 IEEE.
