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.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Integration (CMMI). 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.

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 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.

Book excerpt: CMMI-ACQ® (Capability Maturity Model® Integration for Acquisition) describes best practices for the successful acquisition of products and services. Providing a practical framework for improving acquisition processes, CMMI-ACQ addresses the growing trend in business and government for organizations to purchase or outsource required products and services as an alternative to in-house development or resource allocation. Modeled after CMMI®, Second Edition, which documented CMMI for Development, this book is the definitive reference for the current release of CMMI for Acquisition (version 1.2). In addition to the entire CMMI-ACQ model, the book includes tips, hints, cross-references, and other author notes to help you understand, apply, and find more information about the content of the acquisition process areas. The authors also have added two chapters to illustrate the application of CMMI-ACQ in industry (a case study from General Motors) and government. Whether you are new to CMMI models or are already familiar with one or more of them, you will find this book an essential resource for managing your acquisition processes and improving your overall performance. The book is divided into three parts. Part One introduces CMMI-ACQ in the broad context of CMMI models, including essential concepts and useful background. It then describes and shows the relationships among all the components of the CMMI-ACQ process areas, and explains paths to the adoption and use of the model for process improvement and benchmarking. Finally, two separate chapters describe special acquisition needs in a government environment and real experiences with CMMI-ACQ from industry. Part Two first describes generic goals and generic practices, and then, in twenty-two sections, details each of the CMMI-ACQ process areas, including specific goals, specific practices, and examples. These process areas are organized alphabetically by process area acronym to facilitate quick reference. Part Three provides several useful references, including sources for further information about CMMI and CMMI-ACQ, acronym definitions, a glossary of terms, and an index.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Computer Science - Applied, grade: 3.2, Virtual University of Pakistan, language: English, abstract: This paper is a basic work for introducing the CMMI for in-house software development department. The purpose of this paper is to develop a ground and a clear understanding for the organizations who are willing to adapt the best practices in general for increasing the functional and technical efficiency at their in-house software development department. Normally the CMMI is implemented at organization level in the software development, software engineering, system engineering or system security organizations. The main theme of this paper is to attain CMMI level-2 in software development department. Once the best practices become common in an organization at departmental level, that opens new horizons to build high level understanding of more mature and simplified set of processes that leads toward the organizational maturity which covers the set of overall process areas across the organization. There are various factors involve that limits an organization to adopt a process improvement model. Usually the new emerging organizations having the staff who have previous experience in highly functioning organizations plan to adapt the process improvement models. It is also a dilemma that small and medium size organizations could not establish successful implementation of Software improvement process models because such organizations work in limited resources and restrict time frame [1]. It is more hard to adapt the CMMI at departmental level because main focus of such an organization is towards the productivity or the main stream of the business. Specifically, this paper will provide the structural process and case study of software development department of an organization having very diversified functional and financial dimensions to improve functional efficiency from poorly controlled activities to a managed environment or in short achieving the CMMI maturity level-2.
