Wow, this CMMI stuff takes a LOT of time, work, and money. What can my organization expect in return?
Glad you asked! According to the results of a study published by the SEI on December 15, 2005, the median Return on Investment (ROI) of organizations implementing process improvements through the use of CMMI models is 4.7 : 1! In addition, the organizations participating in the study reported a 20% reduction in project costs, a 37% improvement in schedule, a 14% increase in customer satisfaction, a 62% increase in productivity, and a 50% increase in quality.
