This paper presents a case study that theorizes how project team culture in software engineering organizations affects Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) implementation from an organizational culture perspective. It contends that the success of CMMI implementation is positively related to project team culture along the six aspects of organizational culture: position on reform, centralization and coordination, position on collaboration, rationality and truth, motivation, and position on task. This paper uses a qualitative approach to conduct semi-structured interviews and performs a content analysis of the transcribed interview-related data from case protocol to analyze the gathered information. The results indicate the scope for the impact team culture has on CMMI implementation and suggests the potential for CMMI implementations to bring about changes in organizational culture, which can support the integration of software into an organization. In addition, this study develops a cultural construction that shows the aspects of culture that best facilitate a strong project team culture in CMMI implementation. It extends the theory regarding the impact of culture on CMMI implementation and provides a theoretically grounded basis for future research.

本文提出了一个案例研究，从组织文化的角度理论化了软件工程组织中的项目团队文化如何影响能力成熟度模型集成（CMMI）的实现。它认为，CMMI实施的成功与项目团队文化在组织文化的六个方面正相关：改革的立场，集中化和协调的立场，协作的立场，合理性和真实性，动机以及任务的立场。本文采用定性方法进行半结构化访谈，并对案例协议中转录的访谈相关数据进行内容分析，以分析收集到的信息。结果表明团队文化对CMMI实施产生影响的范围，并暗示CMMI实施有可能带来组织文化的变化，这可以支持将软件集成到组织中。此外，本研究还开发了一种文化结构，该文化结构显示了在CMMI实施中最能促进强大的项目团队文化的文化方面。它扩展了有关文化对CMMI实施的影响的理论，并为将来的研究提供了理论基础。
