Abstract: With the advance technology and increase in customer requirements, software organizations pursue to reduce cost and increase productivity by using standards and best practices. The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a software process improvement model that enhances productivity and reduces time and cost of running projects. As a reference model, CMMI does not specify systemic steps of how to implement the model practices, leaving a room for organization development approaches. Small organizations with low budgets and those who are not looking for CMMI appraisals cannot cope with the high price of CMMI implementation. However, they need to manage the risk of CMMI implementation under their administration. Therefore, this paper proposes a simplified plan using the spiral model to implement the CMMI to reach level 2. The objective is to make the implementation more straightforward to implement and fit CMMI specification without hiring external experts. Compared to related implementation frameworks, the proposed model is deemed competitive and applicable under organizations’ conditions.
