Abstract
This paper describes the process for developing software in a highly volatile environment. The process is based on eXtreme Programming (XP) and Scrum, to combine engineering practices with management directives based on the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) Level 2. In December 2003 our department, Software Engineering Services (SES), was successfully certified for CMM Level 2. The assessors were especially impressed with the transparent, easily accessible and uniform project information. We describe which XP and Scrum practices we apply in the different Key Process Areas (KPA) of CMM and which activities were added. Also, the result of the assessment and recommendations of the assessors are listed.
