We present early experiences with defining and validating a software maturity model (SMM) for a distributed, research-driven organization of independent and self-organizing teams of diverse cultures, experience and maturity. The paper briefly outlines the model, but focuses on the early stages of building and validating it. Based on that, we identify major factors contributing to the successful deployment of a SMM.
