Question No: 40    ( Marks: 5 )

 Can you think it is difficult to implement CMM level in small software companies?

The CMM Level where basic project management processes are established to track cost, schedule, and functionality. That is, it is characterized by basic project management practices. It also implies that without project management not much can be achieved. In Small software house

–        Project size

As the project size increases, the complexity of the problem also increases and therefore its management also becomes more difficult.

–        Delivery deadline

Delivery deadline directly influences the resources and quality.

–        Budgets and costs

A good estimate of budget, cost and schedule is essential for any successful project.

–        Application domain

Application domain also plays an important role in the success of a project. The chances of success of a project in a well-known application domain would be much better than of a project in a relatively unknown domain.

So implementation of all the procedure for this Level can be a bit difficult for small software houses because they usually work on small projects where cost and time always metter.
