Staged models for software process improvement have been extensively used by organizations. However the relationship between these models and organization wide continuous process improvement has not been studied extensively. This study builds upon a previous study that aims to fill in this gap by analyzing the software process improvement activities within a software company that has CMMI level-3 certification. The employees' perception regarding the organization wide continuous process improvement activities are analyzed and improvement opportunities for staged models are discussed.

Do staged maturity models result in organization-wide continuous process improvement? Insight from employees Uskarci, Algan; Demirörs, Onur (2017-05-01) During the last two decades, staged models have been successfully used by software organizations for process improvement. However, the relationship between these models and organization-wide continuous process improvement has not been studied extensively. This study questions the continuity, extent and participation characteristics of software process improvement by analyzing the software process improvement activities and employee perceptions within two different software companies that has CMMI level-3 ce...
Causes of Continuity and Participation Problems in Process Improvement with Staged Maturity Models Uskarci, Algan; Demirörs, Onur (2015-06-17) Staged maturity model based process improvement have been widely employed and analyzed over the past few decades. However the participation of the employees and the continuity of process improvement activities while employing these models is an unexplored aspect of software process improvement research. In this paper we try to identify the causal factors resulting in the shortcomings of staged maturity models with respect to the continuity, extent, and employee participation of process improvement activitie...
Continuous process improvement in software organizations utilizing maturity models Uskarcı, Algan; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2017) During the last two decades, staged process maturity models have been successfully used by software organizations for process improvement. However, the subject of how effective these models are in terms of organization-wide continuous process improvement has not been extensively studied. This study aims to fill this gap by performing a multiple case study to answer questions such as “Are software process improvement activities continuous?”, “Is there an organization wide commitment to process improvement ac...
A review on capability and maturity models of building ınformation modelling Yılmaz, Gökçen; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Demirörs, Onur (null; 2017-07-07) Process assessment and maturity models in software engineering are widely used for process improvement. Likewise, assessing BIM capability and maturity have important effects on increasing BIM performance and enhancing benefits of BIM usage. Thus, there are various BIM capability and maturity models in the literature which are important for users to be able to select appropriate model for their BIM assessment purposes. This study aims to identify and analyse BIM capability and maturity models in the constru...
A software workforce assessment model Tanrıöver, Ö. Özgür; Demirös, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2002) This thesis develops a software practitioner assessment model based on practices and roles defined in SW-CMM (Software Capability Maturity Model) [Paulk 1995] and knowledge units defined in SWEBOK (Software Engineering Body of Knowledge) [Hillburn et al. 1999] to assess emergent software organizations. The aim behind this model is to provide a remedy for the main shortcomings of current software process assessment methods: fully assessing process and technology but not people. Assessment model development i...
