The first joint appraisal performed using the CMMI and the Brazilian MpsBr (modelo de procesos de software do Brasil) was performed in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, in 2009, by a team of selected experts. From the MpsBr the team lead was Ana Regina Rocha. Andres Rubinstein was the team lead for the SCAMPI. After a presentation at the Brazilian Conference on Quality, the paper has been posted into the SEIR (Software Engineering Information Repository – https://seir.sei.cmu.edu/seir).
