| Subject: An intro to SEI CMM Levels Mon Mar 19, 2007 4:27 pm | |
| The SEI(Software Engineering Institute) is a federally funded research and development center conducting software engineering research in acquisition, architecture and product lines, process improvement and performance measurement, security, and system interoperability and dependability. The Capability Maturity Model for Software (also known as the CMM and SW-CMM) has been retired, and CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) replaces it. The SEI no longer maintains the SW-CMM model, its associated appraisal methods, or training materials, nor does the SEI offer SW-CMM training. For more information about the retirement of SW-CMM, see the Software CMM and CMMI FAQ topic. Capability Maturity ModelĀ® Integration (CMMI) is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes. It can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a division, or an entire organization. CMMI helps integrate traditionally separate organizational functions, set process improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality processes, and provide a point of reference for appraising current processes. What are the benefits of SEI-CMM Level 5 certification?The current trends in the software industry point to the fact that the product is no longer a differentiator. It is the business process that is becoming the key differentiator between a good software company and a bad one. The SEI-CMM level 5 helps you ensure that your software processes capabilities are known and the organization has the ability to assess and improve processes continuously for improved results. This translated into tangible benefits for the customer including low project risk, on time on budget deliveries, minimal defect rate, high process visibility and enhanced customer satisfaction. | |
