An exploration of the relationship between organizational learning and software development process maturity

Even after significant resources are poured into software development process, software development process maturity and productivity are still low. Organizational learning has long been realized as a key strategy for improving performance. In our research, we argued that organizational learning could affect the software development process maturity. Data collected via a survey of two groups that is randomly selected from Information Service Industry Association (CISA) and Information Management Association (IMA) members. The results indicate that organization learning have a positive impact on the software development process maturity. These conclusions should help managers revisit their priorities in terms of the relative efforts in software development processes.
