SEI Series in Software Engineering Reihe

This single volume comprises the full, official book version of the CMMI, themuch-anticipated follow-up to the Capability Maturity Model.

Struktur dieses Buches: Dieses Buch dient als Anleitung zur Verbesserung von organisationsweiten Prozessen. Es ist in drei Hauptteile gegliedert:* Teil 1 - Übersicht zu CMMI für Entwicklung* Teil 2 - Generische Ziele, generische Praktiken und Prozessgebiete* Teil 3 - Anhänge und GlossarZur Zielgruppe dieses Buches gehören alle, die an einer Prozessverbesserung im Entwicklungs- und Pflegeumfeld interessiert sind. Dieses Buch wird für Sie nützlich sein, wenn Sie bereits mit dem Konzept des Capability Maturity Model vertraut sind oder wenn Sie Informationen suchen, um mit Ihren Verbesserungsaktivitäten zu beginnen. Dieses Buch eignet sich auch für diejenigen, die ein Appraisal durchführen möchten, um zu sehen, wo sie stehen, für diejenigen, die bereits wissen, was sie verbessern möchten, und für diejenigen, die gerade anfangen und ein allgemeines Verständnis für die Konstellation „CMMI für Entwicklung“ entwickeln wollen. Die Zielgruppe umfasst daher Prozess-Appraisalteams, Mitglieder von Prozessverbesserungsgruppen, Projektleiter, Produkt- oder Dienstleistungsentwickler, Software- und Systementwickler sowie Trainer für Projektmanagement, Informatik, Entwicklung und Geschäftswesen.

When the first edition of this book was published in 2001, CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) was largely viewed as a standard that was "on the horizon." In the past two years, CMMI has -- pardon the pun -- matured greatly. CMMI is now a recognized and widely-adopted model. This new edition reflects CMMI version 1.1 (the first edition was based on version 1.0). The book contains expanded coverage on the realized return on investment that can be attained through process improvement with CMMI, and the pioneer case studies have been replaced with broader CMMI-specific experience that will enable the reader to more easily adopt this model. The authors also share their understanding of how the CMMI will continue to adapt and remain relevant for years to come. The result is a handy book that is informative, useful, and appropriate to the reader's needs.

Presenting the key processes of the SEI Capability Maturity software process management, this book is a sequel and successor to Watts Humphrey's Managing the Software Process. Adopting an accessible style, this work also provides an overview of the SPICE project being undertaken by the ISO in order to develop international standards for software process improvement and capability determination.

CMMI-ACQ ® (Capability Maturity Model ® Integration for Acquisition) outlines best practices for effectively acquiring products and services. It offers a practical framework aimed at enhancing acquisition processes, addressing the increasing trend among businesses and governments to outsource rather than develop in-house. This definitive reference for the current CMMI for Acquisition (version 1.2) is modeled after CMMI ®, Second Edition, which focused on development. The book includes the complete CMMI-ACQ model along with tips, hints, cross-references, and author notes to aid in understanding and applying the acquisition process areas. Additionally, it features two chapters that illustrate the application of CMMI-ACQ in both industry (with a case study from General Motors) and government contexts. The book is structured into three parts. Part One introduces CMMI-ACQ within the broader CMMI context, covering essential concepts and relationships among process areas, as well as paths for adoption and use. It also addresses unique acquisition needs in government and shares industry experiences. Part Two details generic goals and practices, followed by twenty-two sections that explore each CMMI-ACQ process area, organized alphabetically for quick reference. Part Three offers valuable references, including additional resources on CMMI and CMMI-ACQ, acronym definitions, a glossary, and an index.

CMMI® (Capability Maturity Model® Integration) describes best practices for the development and maintenance of products and services across their entire lifecycle. By integrating essential bodies of knowledge, CMMI provides a single, comprehensive framework for organizations to assess their development and maintenance processes, implement improvements, and measure progress. This book is a definitive reference for the most current release of CMMI (version 1.2). In the new edition, the authors have added tips, hints, and cross-references in the margins (in color) throughout the process areas to help you better understand, apply, and find more information about the content of the process areas. The book also now includes brief, insightful perspectives on CMMI written by people influential in the model’s creation, development, and transition. A new case study from Raytheon illustrates a real-world application of the model to a services organization. Whether you are new to CMMI or familiar with an earlier version, if you need to know about, evaluate, or put the latest version of CMMI into practice, this book is an essential resource. The book is divided into three parts. Part I offers the broad view of CMMI, beginning with basic concepts of process improvement. It describes the process areas, their components, and their relationships to each other. It explains the model’s two representations as well as paths to the adoption and use of CMMI for process improvement and benchmarking. Part II, the bulk of the book, details the generic goals and practices and the twenty-two process areas now comprising CMMI. The process areas are organized alphabetically by acronym for easy look-up. Each chapter includes goals, best practices, and examples for a particular process area. The two CMMI representations are described so that you will easily see their similarities and differences and thereby be better able to choose the right approach for your organization. Part III contains several useful resources, including CMMI-related references, acronym definitions, a glossary of terms, and an index.
