Notes:

This article compares the use of Agile methods with CMM/CMMI on small projects. The author shows that there are some advantages to using Agile methods in small projects; but also shows that CMM/CMMI can be used to deliver effective results but at a (typically) greater cost. He recommends using CMM/CMMI for larger projects. He also shows that some organisations have had success integrating Agile methods into formal methods such as Six Sigma.
