The analyses of the 26 questions in the questionnaire are divided into 4 groups with 7 questions each in the first 3 groups and only 5 questions in the last group. This is to allow good visibility of the questions analysed without overcrowding in a single chart.
The researcher used a stack bar chart to present the perceived level of importance of each of the factors studied. The bar chart is stacked with high, medium, low, not effective and don’t know bars to show the frequency of the levels.
4.4.1 Questions 1 – 7
Questions 1-7 tested on the following items: 1. Turnover of Staff
2. Cost of Appraising 3. Change Management 4. Many Roles to One Person 5. Unscheduled Events 6. Financial Motives 7. Public Holiday Events
The findings from the questionnaire survey indicate that Turnover of Staff has a high importance rating (77.17%) from 71 respondents. Therefore this indicates that turnover of staff is one of the factors that plays a main role and has an effect on the transition time of CMMI. The Cost of Appraising got a high rating (52.17%) from 48 respondents while Change Management was voted as being of high importance on 69 occasions (75%) from
low of 16 times (17.39%). This indicates that it is not an effect
transition time of CMMI. Unscheduled Events was suggested 47 times (51%) as an indicator of importance for the transition time. Financial Motives was selected 37 times (40.2%) as an important factor for the CMMI transition time
between the two countries. Finally, Public Holiday Events was cited 39 times (42.39%) to show its importance in affecting the transition time of CMMI in two data sets, where it has different importance in two countries.

11 Frequency of Process Assessment
12 Separation of Process and Product Concerns 13 Management & Staff Involvement
14 Training
The data analysis indicates that Imposed Partner got selected as being of high importance only 46 times. This shows that for the rest of the 46 times it was not important. Income Level was selected as important 42 times and for 50 times it was not so important. Management Commitment factor was regarded as important by 81 respondents. Frequency of Process Assessment was highly regarded as an important factor affecting the CMMI transition time as there were 43 respondents who clearly said this was important. Separation of Process and Product Concerns got 71 votes as an important factor. Management & Staff Involvement secured the votes of 47 respondents to show that this was an important factor affecting the transition time of CMMI. The final item in this group was Training which got 78 responses to indicate this was important factor affecting transition time.

4.4.3 Questions 15 – 21
Questions 15-21 tested on the following items:
15 Review
16 Defined SPI Implementation Methodology 17 Awareness
18 CMMI Experienced Staff 19 Communication
20 Group Focus
21 Process Documentation
The Review factor got voted as a highly important factor affecting the transition time of CMMI by 60 respondents which means that it has 65.22% of importance on the transition time. The Defined SPI Implementation Methodology factor received a convincing 49 responses to show its importance in affecting the transition time. Awareness was also regarded as an important factor as it received the vote from 52 respondents participating in the questionnaire survey. CMMI Experienced Staff was selected as an important factor by 56 respondents, which means that it has approximately 61% of importance. Communication got the approval from 48 respondents while Group Focus obtained 35 confirmations as an important factor. Finally Process Documentation only managed a low of 53 respondents thinking it was an important factor affecting the transition time. It went on to show that 39 other respondents regarded this as not important.
