In the LACM case study, I have shared practical techniques proven to work
that are consistent with both the CMMI model and Agile principles to help
an organization achieve business objectives. These techniques are specifically
oriented toward an organization that already has formal processes in
place and might have achieved a formal high CMMI rating.

you are a growing successful Agile organization? You know you need some
increased formality because you also know your current processes won’t
scale—but you also fear losing the culture that brought you the success you
have achieved to date. So what do you do?
