Interim Profile Development and Trial of a Method to Rapidly Measure Software Engineering Maturity Status

Development of an Instant Profile (IP) method was driven by a business need to rapidly measure an organization's software engineering process maturity between organizational software process assessments (SPAs). This document provides information about the process used to develop the method and a description of the method to software engineering process group (SEPG) members and practitioners responsible for diagnosing software process maturity. This document also addresses the next steps in the further development and use of the instant profile method.
