Abstract
During the past 20 years Maturity & Capability Models (MCMs) become a buzzword in the ICT world. Since the initial Crosby’s idea in 1979, plenty of models have been created in the Software & Systems Engineering domains, addressing various perspectives. By analyzing the content of the Process Reference Models (PRM) in many of them, it can be noticed that reuse-related issues have unfortunately often little importance in the appraisals of the capabilities of software organizations while in practice they are considered as significant contributors in traditional process and organizational performance appraisals. While MCMs represent a good mean for assessing the status of a set of processes, integrating two or more models with a common area of focus can offer more information and value for an organization. The aim of this paper is to present some information about Reuse best practices and models, keep the best components from each model and – using the LEGO (Living EnGineering prOcess) approach to process improvement - merge those best practices from several types of maturity models into an organizational Business Process Model (BPM) in order to achieve in an easier and faster way higher organizational maturity and capability levels.
