Abstract

Contrary to popular belief, CMMI and Agile cannot only coexist forcibly in a company, but also live peacefully together which benefits from their integration. This paper reports the experience of Progesi, a company in the market of defense and public administration that has adopted the method dev CMMI level 3 and uses daily methodology in Agile projects. Examples of integration are available in the literature, and our analysis starts from some well-known case study: In fact, many have had the need to find a meeting point between the two philosophies. The key to integration is an approach that we called “Meta–Dynamic–Agile” model, which is based on “competence centers.”
