Synopsis

This book is the authoritative reference for the most current release of CMMI models. The book begins with background information needed to understand the nature, structure, and use of these integrated models. A case study demonstrates their implementation in a real environment. A variety of practical material, such as a glossary and full list of acronyms, is also provided. The bulk of the book comprises the content of all CMMI Models, covering the 25 process areas (PAs) that span the product lifecycle, with precise descriptions of each PA, including generic and specific goals and practices.

Book Overview:

The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a framework widely used to assess an organization's processes in carrying out specific activities, to guide the implemention of improvements, and to measure progress. There currently are CMM frameworks for software (documented in our CMM book), systems, acquisition, and human resources. The new Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is an attempt by the Department of Defense and a consortium of companies to integrate the CMMs, which often differ in significant ways, into a single coherent model. The CMMI includes two representations -- a staged representation (where organizations can rise from one level to another) and a continuous representation (where there are steady improvements). The market will decide which representation is preferable; this book covers them both with practical examples that allow readers to assess their level of maturity, and most importantly, improve it!
