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) 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.

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.
