Abstract

Agenda: CMMI Overview, Pilot Overview, Adoption of CMMI by ASI and Lessons Learned, How Pilot Artifacts Can Help Small Businesses. CMMI Is a Process-Improvement Model that provides a set of Best Practices that address productivity, performance, costs, and stakeholder satisfaction. CMMI Is NOT a set of Bolt-On Processes that last only as long as the wheel is squeaking. CMMI provides a consistent, enduring framework that accommodates new initiatives. CMMI focuses on the total-system problem, unlike other predecessor CMMs. CMMI facilitates enterprise-wide process improvement, unlike single-discipline models.
