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.
