This book was released on 2003 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Experience shows that engineering commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based systems requires fundamental changes from traditional engineering: adjusted roles and responsibilities, new skills, and different processes. Practitioners are often surprised to find that building and supporting COTS-based systems demands more, not less, discipline in their management and engineering practices. Many organizations have derived benefit from process improvement using capability maturity models and want to apply them as they build COTS-based systems. In addition, organizations building COTS-based systems want to apply the Capability Maturity Model[registered trademark] Integration (CMMI[registered trademark]). This leads to the question, 'How should CMMI be interpreted for organizations building, fielding, and supporting a COTS-based system?' This report shows that developing and maintaining COTS-based systems is more than selecting products and managing vendor relationships and is, therefore, more than just applying the Supplier Sourcing discipline within CMMI. The four CMMI disciplines -- Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Integrated Product and Process Development, and Supplier Sourcing -- require interpretation and must be used together to promote improvement of an organization's processes for developing and maintaining COTS-based systems. This report summarizes what makes COTS-based systems unique and provides high-level guidance for interpreting and using CMMI practices to facilitate appropriate processes for COTS-based systems."

Download or read book Interpreting Capability Maturity Model Trademark Integration CMMI Trademark for Business Development Organizations in the Government and Industrial Business Sectors written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as use of a disciplined process has been shown to produce higher quality and more predictable software-intensive systems, use of a disciplined business development and marketing process can result in improved success for the business enterprise. Overall business performance and marketing of technology and software-intensive systems can be improved by applying the concepts defined in Capability Maturity Model (Trademark) Integration (CMMI (Trademark)) best practices. This interpretation of CMMI best practices is for business development activities applicable to contractors doing business within the government (Department of Defense) and industrial business sectors. Using CMMI for business development and product development in the same organization addresses process improvement from a larger business perspective, creating the potential for increased efficiency, improved quality, and better customer satisfaction, and improving the organization's ability to achieve a profitable market share. Many organizations have achieved proven benefits from CMMI-based process improvement programs. This success can be extended beyond product and service engineering to business development organizations by interpreting CMMI best practices for the business development and marketing environments. This technical note uses the continuous representation of a CMMI model and provides interpretation of CMMI process areas in each of the model's four categories: Project Management, Support, Process Management, and Engineering. Because many best practices for business development activities are not included in CMMI models, four new process areas were added to cover these activities. This technical note provides an initial construct for business development. Further discussions within the business development and CMMI communities can result in improved refinements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "There is a widespread demand for evidence about the impact and benefits of process improvement based on Capability Maturity Model[registered trademark] Integration (CMMI[registered trademark]) models. Much has been documented about the practice of CMM[registered trademark]-based process improvement and its value for the development and maintenance of software and software intensive systems; however, the existing information is sometimes outdated and there are increasing calls for evidence directly based on CMMI experience. This special report presents selected results from 12 case studies drawn from 11 organizations. While still limited, the case studies provide credible evidence that CMMI-based process improvement can help organizations achieve better project performance and produce higher quality products. The report also describes plans for gathering further evidence from organizations using CMMI models."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) Interpretive Guidance project was formed to help commercial software, information technology (IT), and information systems (IS) organizations adopt CMMI. Project members collected data to learn more about how CMMI is being accepted by these organizations. This report describes the data-collection activities and includes summaries of the data collected through August 2003. The project received both positive and negative comments that lead to some interesting and surprising observations. Overall, the positive comments greatly outnumbered the negative. Input provided by commercial software, IT, and IS organizations was similar to input from organizations from other disciplines. Organizations reported that CMMI is adequate for guiding their process improvement activities and that CMMI training courses and appraisal methods are suitable for their needs, although there are specific opportunities for improvement. Having two representations caused concern and confusion for some but was a benefit for others, so the project will investigate these comments further to see what can be done to address these concerns. The cost of CMMI is an issue that affected adoption decisions for some but not for others. Finally, return-on-investment information is usually helpful to organizations when making the business case to adopt CMMI.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "There is a widespread demand for factual information about the impact and benefits of process improvement based on Capability Maturity Model[registered trademark] Integration (CMMI) models. Much has been learned since the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) published a special report on this topic over two years ago. There is now evidence that process improvement using the CMMI Product Suite can result in improvements in schedule and cost performance, product quality, return on investment, and other measures of performance outcome. This technical report summarizes much of the publicly available empirical evidence about the performance results that can occur as a consequence of CMMI-based process improvement. In addition, the report contains a series of brief case descriptions that were created with collaboration from representatives from 10 organizations that have achieved notable quantitative performance results through their CMMI-based improvement efforts. The report is meant for members of engineering process groups, middle and first-line management, and other potential process improvement participants who wish to learn more about how CMMI can contribute to measurable improvements. It also may be useful for executives and senior managers who are faced with decisions about the allocation of scarce resources for improvement efforts."

Download or read book CMMI sm SE SW V1 0 Capability Maturity Model Integrated for Systems Engineering Software Engineering Version 1 0 Continuous Representation written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of CMM Integration, and therefore this CMMI model, is to provide guidance for improving an organization's processes and its ability to manage the development, acquisition, and maintenance of products or services. CMM Integration places proven practices into a structure that helps organizations assess their organizational maturity or process area capability, establish priorities for improvement, and implement these improvements. Organizations can further use this CMMI model to help set process improvement objectives and priorities, improve processes, and provide guidance for ensuring stable, capable, and mature processes. This model has a continuous representation. The components of both representations are process areas, specific goals, specific practices, generic goals, generic practices, typical work products, subpractices, notes, discipline amplifications, generic practice elaborations, and references. However, the continuous representation uses six capability levels, capability profiles, target staging, and equivalent staging as organizing principles for the model components. The continuous representation groups process areas by affinity categories and designates capability levels for process improvement within each process area. Capability profiles illustrate process improvement paths in terms of staging of process areas.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "For organizations using Earned Value Management (EVM) or that plan to implement EVM during Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI[registered trademark]) implementation, this technical note provides guidance for cost-effective process improvement and appraisal. Mapping and comparison tables between CMMI and the U.S. national standard on EVM are provided. These tables can be used to identify practices within CMMI that are not included in the EVM standard but, if added to an organization's processes, will strengthen adherence to EVM principles. The tables also can be used to develop instruments that will provide evidence to an appraisal team to enable it to quickly verify and validate specific practices based upon effective implementation of EVM. Furthermore, information such as glossary components, typical work products, and examples are included in this technical note to aid those using CMMI for process improvement. For organizations using technical performance measurement, a primary base measure for earned value, additional guidance and information is provided. Finally, additional references and an EVM glossary are provided."
