Solid experiences in combining CMMI with Scrum and story based development, has shown that the mix provides strong synergies [2] and insights into what CMMI practices fit and amplify the execution of Scrum and story based early testing development  \nThis paper presents specifically how agile methods like Scrum are successfully combined with CMMI. CMMI provides solid support for what disciplines to consider. When applied the disciplines create a focus on important aspects of agile methods that perhaps are not normally elaborated, for example how to ensure a proper quality of a product backlog or how to ensure a proper “production line” for the project. This guidance may not be needed for small agile projects, but as the agile movement continues to grow, and is used for larger and more complex projects, agile projects will need to address these issues related to increased size and complexity.  \nThe experiences from combining CMMI and Scrum have led Systematic to identify examples of explicit guidance from CMMI that help to execute normal Scrum activities even better.  \nThese activities can be implemented in the spirit of the agile manifesto and principles and by doing so agile methods can be augmented and matured to ensure that even larger and more complex projects in the future can and will benefit from agile-with a twist of CMMI.  \n1. Introduction  \nThis paper presents the experiences on how CMMI amplifies Agile and recommends a subset of activities an agile project could adopt from CMMI to improve performance. Agile purists and small agile projects may find these activities non-agile or counterproductive; however in larger and/or distributed projects these activities will prove to be invaluable.  \nThe paper does not describe how to mature an organization from CMMI level 1 to CMMI level 2, but  \nthe activities described could be part of such a change. Rather this paper highlights a set of activities that could be considered the glue between agile only projects based on Scrum and the disciplines expected from projects and organizations working toward CMMI level 2 or 3.  \nThis paper presents how“a twist of CMMI” can help establish a more solid framework for agile projects to support even more complex projects by adopting some of the practices from the CMMI.  \n2. Context for the experiences  \nSystematic was established in 1985 and employs more than 450 people worldwide with offices in Denmark, Finland, USA and the UK. It is an independent software and systems company focusing on complex and critical IT solutions within information and communication systems. Often these systems are mission critical with high demands on reliability, safety, accuracy and usability.  \nCustomers are typically professional IT-departments in public institutions and large companies with longstanding experience in acquiring complex software and systems. Solutions developed by Systematic are used by tens of thousands of people in the defense, healthcare, manufacturing, and service industries. Systematic was appraised 11 November 2005 using the SCAMPISM method and found to be CMMI level 5 compliant. During 2006 Systematic adopted Scrum and a story based early testing approach to software development.  \nCMMI provides insight into what processes are needed to maintain a disciplined mature organization capable of predicting and improving performance of the organization and projects. Scrum provides guidance for efficient management of projects in a way that allows for high flexibility and adaptability.
