Therefore, SCRUM is a recommended starting point for organizations with small teams and without defined processes, because most of the necessary fundamentals for institutionalizing CMMI project management process areas related to maturity level 2 are created without compromising the agility needed by these organizations. However, organizations searching higher maturity levels are not fully met by SCRUM practices. Other alternative practices are necessary to complement SCRUM and address CMMI requirements. The great challenge is identifying how alternative practices can complement SCRUM without losing agility.
