Abstract :
Organizations implementing XP practices can easily fit them under the SW-CMM because it represents a framework for self-improvement. However, there is a problem that organizations must address: putting XP to work in an SW-CMM environment is often difficult, because guidance on how to take advantage of existing best practices is not available while transitioning to XP.
