Co-Existence of CMMI & Agile

In the pursuit of achieving true agility in delivering software solutions, that adapt quickly to changing business needs, organizations are increasingly adopting Agile methodologies. At the same time organizations also want to establish & maintain a strong quality framework based on internationally recognized models & frameworks such as CMMI® that foster continuous improvement.

With the advent of globalization, rapidly changing market scenarios, increased customer awareness and increased pressure on cost optimization, organizations are feeling a need to focus on both Agile and CMMI®.
