Abstract
When organizations make many improvements concurrently, software
project managers have no way of determining how much improvement is due
to process maturity versus other factors. Using a 161-project sample,
the article isolates the effects on effort of process maturity versus
other effects, concluding that an increase of one process maturity level
can reduce development effort by 4% to 11%
