Many software developments firms around the world have resorted to The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) to establish continually improving standard software development processes. Aligning software development practices with state-of-the-art standards in software development will consequently improve the quality of the resulting products and place the organization at a higher level of software development maturity. In this research, we assess the extent of applying CMMI at a Saudi organization and analyze provide an analysis based on a survey study.
