This paper presents a model to assess Software Project Management (SPM) practices using our Software Project Management Maturity Assessment (SPMMA) model. We discuss the model procedure, assessment inputs and outputs, the assessment questionnaires, team selection associated with the SPMMA. We have tested our model in a mid-size IT company. One pilot project conferred with ISO 9001 certification has been selected in order to perform the assessment. For this version of assessment, it only focuses on the Project Management practices which comprise Project Planning, Project Monitoring and Control and Risk Management process areas. The paper also discuss about strength and weaknesses of the current process in the pilot project. © 2007 IEEE.
