Overview

CMMI

The capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a process improvement model that provides a set of industry-recognized practices to address productivity, performance, costs and stakeholder satisfaction. It is used to guide process improvement across project, departments, and entire organizations. It helps organizations in examine the effectiveness of their processes, establishes priorities for improvement and in implementing appropriate improvements.

CMMI helps in successful completion of projects. Each project will have effective project planning, project cost estimating, project measurements, project milestone tracking, project quality control, risk management, project change management, processes and communications. With capable project managers and technical personnel, organizations will achieve significant results and substantial volumes of reusable material.

The CMMI provides an integrated, consistent, enduring framework for enterprise-wide process improvement and can accommodate new initiatives as future needs are identified. Unlike single-discipline or stove-pipe models that can result in confusion and higher costs when implemented together.

CMMI IMPLEMENTATION BENEFITS

• More explicitly link the management and engineering activities to the business objectives
• Incorporate lessons learned from additional areas of best practice (e.g., measurement and risk management)
• Address additional organizational functions critical to their products and services
• Expand the visibility into the product life cycle and engineering activities to ensure that the products and services meet customer expectations
• Implement more robust high-maturity practices
• Fully comply with relevant ISO standards.
