• Resumen

  • In recent years, a great interest has been advocated to agile methods, particularly, eXtreme Programming or XP. This method creates controversial critics: Some experts consider that XP includes essential engineering practices for every software project. Others consider that these practices are impractical and go against project development productivity.

    We consider that XP is based on practices of good sense and can give many benefits to organization adepting it. However, we consider that the principle lack in XP is project management and especially the measurement process. This issue in mon-sufficiently defined in XP. We propose in our approach to improve XP method taking into consideration Capability and Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) objectives. We focus on measurement process and we provide guidance for its formalization, Improved XP process is critiqued from Capability and Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) objetives. We focus on measurement process and we provide guidance for its formalization. Improved XP process is critiqued from Capability and Maturity Model for software (SW-CMM) perspective. This model considers measurement as a key concept. We think that our proposed improvements allow organizations adopting XP to reach SW-CMM level 3 and to address some of level 4 practices.
