Abstract

Although many activities are available in order to satisfy the Project Management area, Software Development Organizations face difficulties to implant functional and effective practices of Project Management. The main objective of this work is to provide an analysis of Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Specific Practices applied in the Software Development. This work intends to examine them toward to identify which are the most preferable ones, according to elicitation of preferences of a decision maker, in order to improve a software development process for a stated type of project and Company. The process of decision making is supported by the application of a classification methodology named ZAPROS-LM of Verbal Decision Analysis (VDA), classifying the mentioned Specific Practices (SP), as alternatives.
