Development process maturity is strongly linked to the success or
failure of software projects. As the word "maturity" implies,
time and effort are necessary to gain it. The Space Shuttle Onboard
Software project has been in existence for nearly 20 years. In 1989
the project was rated at the highest level of the Software Engineering
Institute's Capability Maturity Model. The high-quality software
produced by the project is directly linked to its maturity. This
paper focuses on the experiences of the Space Shuttle Onboard Software
project in the journey to process maturity and the factors that have
made it successful.
