Abstract – Over the past years, the Capability Maturity
Model (CMM) and Capability Maturity Model Integration
(CMMI) have been broadly used for assessing organizational
maturity and process capability throughout the world [20].
However, the rapid pace of change in information technology
has caused increasing frustration with the heavyweight plans,
specifications, and other documentation imposed by contractual
inertia and maturity model compliance criteria [4]. In the light of
that, agile methodologies have been adopted to tackle this
challenge. The aim of our paper is to present a mapping between
CMMI to one of these methodologies, the Scrum. It shows how
Scrum addresses the Project Management Process Areas of
CMMI. This is useful for organizations that have their plan-
driven process based on CMMI model and are planning to
improve its processes towards agility or to help organizations to
define a new project management framework based on both
CMMI and Scrum practices.
