  Abstract

There are increasing numbers of foreign and domestic organizations that are using CMM/CMMI to establish their processes and keep improving them. CMMI and IDEAL models of SEI provide the best practices of processes and guide the organization using them based on processes maturity levels. However, they do not deal with their tools or methods that describe how to implement the processes in the organization. Therefore, in this paper, we developed a method in which various tools and statistical methodology of 6 sigma are applied to identify the process areas to be improved, to extract problems in those areas and to prioritize them. We expect this paper can contribute to the organizations that are searching for practical way of implementing CMMI based software process improvement and of identifying improvement items systematically. Also this method will be used to understand the result of improvement activities quantitatively.
