Software Engineering Institute Capability Model Integration Sample Clauses

Software Engineering Institute Capability Model Integration. (CMMI) CMMI is divided into three constellations, which can be applied to different kinds of organizations. A constellation is “a collection of components that are used to construct models, training material, and appraisal materials in an area of interest.” [31] There are two constellations in CMMI 1.3, (1) Development [31], which supports organizations that develop products and (2) Acquisition [32] which supports an organization in getting products or services from external suppliers. There is also material to another constellation, Services [33], which is intended to support organizations that primarily deliver services rather than products. This analysis will focus on the development constellation of CMMI. Description: The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) was developed in sponsorship by the US Department of Defense teamed up with the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA). Then in 2000, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University created a stewardship to produce the first integrated CMMI models, with the companion appraisal and training material. In the year 2002 the CMMI version 1.1 was released, then in 2006 the version 1.2 was released and in 2010 version 1.3 was released. The CMMI Suite contains information and guidance to help an organization improve its processes. The CMMI models are composed of two kinds of materials, (1) Materials that help in the evaluation of organization processes, which provides essential information to the management, support and technical activities and (2) Materials which help improve process performance, which provides information which can be used to increase the capability level of an organization’s activities. Aim: The main objectives of CMMI are to reduce the cost of implementing several process improvement models for each disciple are accomplished by the eliminating inconsistencies, reducing duplication, increasing clarity and understanding, providing common terminology, providing consistent style, establishing uniform construction rules [30]. Scope: Generic for Process Improvement How to Assess: SEI developed a complementary document to assess CMMI. This document is SCAMPI for CMMI. SCAMPI stands for Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement. This document contains a very detailed method to use for appraisal using CMMI. It covers the whole assessment cycle from planning and preparing the assessment to the packaging and archiving of the appraisal assets use...
