This paper examines the effects of agile methods and software process maturity on software product development performance. Through a mail survey, we obtained data from 72 small and medium-sized software firms that predominantly were not CMMI-certified. Findings from our partial least squares analysis suggest that the use of agile methods has a positive impact on product development efficiency and effectiveness, but CMMI practices do not have this effect. Our results suggest that software process improvement initiatives in software product firms create the highest benefits through first adopting agile methods and only then moving on to implementing CMMI-like process improvement initiatives.
