Appraisal Requirements for CMMI, Version 1.1 (ARC, V1.1)

The Appraisal Requirements for CMMI (ARC) V1.1 defines the requirements considered essential to appraisal methods intended for use with Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) models. In addition, a set of appraisal classes is defined, based on typical applications of appraisal methods. These classes are intended primarily for developers of appraisal methods to use with CMMI capability models in the context of the CMMI Product Suite. Appraisal methods, as used in this document, may be applied for different purposes, including assessments for internal process improvement and capability evaluations for supplier selection and process monitoring. This document defines the requirements for such methods, but not necessarily the conditions or constraints under which they might be applied. The approach employed to provide guidance to appraisal method developers is to define a set of typical applications of appraisal methods (which are based on years of experience in the process improvement community) called appraisal method classes. Requirements are then allocated to each class as appropriate based on the attributes associated with that class. Thus, a particular appraisal method may be declared to be an ARC Class A, B, or C appraisal method. This designation implies the sets of ARC requirements that the method developer has addressed when designing the method

Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI), Version 1.1--Continuous Representation

Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) models have evolved the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) concept, established by the Capability Maturity Model for Software (SW-CMM), to a new level that enables the continued growth and expansion of the CMM concept to multiple disciplines. Like the SW-CMM, EIA/IS 731, IPD-CMM, SA-CMM, and other process improvement models, CMMI models are tools that help organizations improve their processes. This CMMI model is designed to help organizations improve their product and service development, acquisition, and maintenance processes. Concepts covered by this model include systems engineering, software engineering, integrated product and process development, and supplier sourcing as well as traditional CMM concepts such as process management and project management. Each CMMI model is designed to be used in concert with other CMMI models, making it easier for organizations to pursue enterprise-wide process improvement at their own pace. This CMMI model has a continuous representation, which focuses on measuring process improvement using capability levels. Capability levels apply to process-improvement achievement within individual process areas such as configuration management or verification

CMMI for Software Engineering, Version 1.1, Staged Representation (CMMI-SW, V1.1, Staged)

Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) models have evolved the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) concept, established by the Capability Maturity Model for Software (SW-CMM), to a new level that enables the continued growth and expansion of the CMM concept to multiple disciplines. Like the SW-CMM, EIA/IS 731, IPD-CMM, SA-CMM, and other process improvement models, CMMI models are tools that help organizations improve their processes. This CMMI model is designed to help organizations improve their product and service development, acquisition, and maintenance processes. Software engineering concepts are covered by this model, including traditional CMM concepts such as process management and project management. Each CMMI model is designed to be used in concert with other CMMI models, making it easier for organizations to pursue enterprise-wide process improvement at their own pace. This CMMI model has a staged representation, which focuses on measuring process improvement using maturity levels. Maturity levels apply to process-improvement achievement across the organizational unit using the model

CMMI for Services, Version 1.3

CMMI® (Capability Maturity Model® Integration) models are collections of best practices that help organizations to improve their processes. These models are developed by product teams with members from industry, government, and the Carnegie Mellon® Software Engineering Institute (SEI). This model, called CMMI for Services (CMMI-SVC), provides a comprehensive integrated set of guidelines for providing superior services

CMMI for Services, Version 1.2

CMMI for Services (CMMI-SVC) is a model that provides guidance to service provider organizations for establishing, managing, and delivering services. The model focuses on service provider processes and integrates bodies of knowledge that are essential for successful service delivery. CMMI-SVC provides best practices that service providers can use when they * Decide what services they should be providing, define standard services, and let people know about them * Make sure they have everything they need to deliver a service, including people, processes, consumables, and equipment * Get new systems in place, change existing systems, retire obsolete systems, all while making sure nothing goes terribly wrong with the service * Set up agreements, take care of service requests, and operate service systems * Make sure they have the resources needed to deliver services and that services are available when needed-at an appropriate cost * Handle what goes wrong-and prevent it from going wrong in the first place if possible * Ensure they are ready to recover from potential disasters and get back to delivering services if the disaster occur

CMMI for Acquisition, Version 1.3

CMMI® (Capability Maturity Model® Integration) models are collections of best practices that help organizations to improve their processes.
