On 20 April 2007, Softline successfully completed an appraisal of compliance with CMMI level 4 requirements. For the first time in Ukraine, the appraisal was carried out against the new version of the model, CMMI v1.2. Rajarshi Kumar Das, Director of CyberQ (India), presented the final results, which confirm that the company's processes comply with CMMI maturity level 4. |
The appraisal of the company's compliance with CMMI level 4 requirements followed a new methodology that involves auditing all of the company's projects. During the appraisal, the company had to confirm the implementation of more than 400 practices of CMMI levels 2, 3 and 4. The appraisal team led by high maturity lead assessor Rajarshi Kumar Das interviewed managers and staff of more than 20 projects, the process engineering group, the quality department, managers of service units (the human resources and integrated solutions departments, the tender and analytical services) and the company's top management. The work confirmed the practices of all 20 process areas of CMMI levels 2, 3 and 4. The appraisal team headed by high maturity lead assessor Rajarshi Kumar Das, Director of CyberQ, decided that Softline's processes comply with CMMI v1.2 maturity level 4. Softline's progress towards CMMI maturity level 4 began in November 2005, after its processes were institutionalised in line with the CMM level 3 model. The next step in improving the company's processes is achieving CMMI maturity level 5. Reaching CMMI level 4 gives the company one more argument for positioning itself as an international-level company. As a reminder, in August 2005 the company successfully passed an appraisal of compliance with CMM level 3 requirements. In July 2003, Softline received a certificate of compliance with the international quality standard ISO 9001:2000 (No. UA2.002.766). CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) is a maturity model for software development processes. CMMI describes 5 maturity levels in ascending order of software development process effectiveness. Each maturity level provides a basis for consistent improvement of the software development process and offers a set of process areas that must be maintained at that maturity level. |
