Abstract
Software organizations are trying to accommodate the recent changes in the ISO 9001:2000 as well as the new structure and expectations of the CMMI model. In this presentation we will focus on issues regarding to ISO 9001:2000 and on moving from ISO 9001:2000 compliant model to CMMI Level 3 capability. We will discuss how to implement ISO 9001:2000 requirements in a small software organization, and some of the decisions we made for building an efficient quality management system. We then provide a roadmap for CMMI Level 3 capability and discuss the issues related to moving from ISO world to the CMMI structure. The discussion will summarize our company’s improvement efforts which started in June 2000. Our quality management system received ISO 9001:2000 certification in June 2001, and now moving towards CMMI Level 3. We strongly believe that our experience will provide success example especially to small software organizations.
