Abstract :
Because the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) never stops evolving, High Performance Technologies, Inc. (HPTi) found itself struggling to keep up with the changes while maintaining its CMMI III certification. Developers were complaining, clients were getting anxious, software releases were slipping. But what was the problem? Was it CMMI? Was it the environment? Was it HPTi? Through a disciplined approach to agile development, HPTi was able to successfully deliver above expectations. This experience report outlines HPTipsilas successful journey through a CMMI III certification on an FBI software development project and the even more successful transition into agile development.
