This paper discusses a research effort to determine the effect that Software Process Maturity has on software development effort. Case studies to date report a cumulative positive effect when increasing the Process Maturity on a project and across an Organization. A new software cost estimation model, COCOMO 2.0, is used to account of all of the factors that influence effort thus permitting the isolation of Process Maturity's effects. The results of this research will identify a short-term gain from investing in software process improvement.
