Leading the Way to Higher Software
Maturity
Establishing
and following processes by which software is managed and
developed has proven to be the path that enables companies to
remain competitive despite the ever-increasing complexity of
software development. More
and more improvement goals.
SMS
initially built its process improvement programs on the
Capability Maturity Model® (CMM®) and
continues today with the Capability Maturity Model Integration®
(CMMI®). Pioneered
by the Software
Engineering Institute (SEISM)
at Carnegie Mellon University, the CMMI model expands on the
success of the CMM, providing guidelines for best practices
for software development. This model has a proven track record
and is highly beneficial
to organizations that wish to identify opportunities for
process improvement. The CMMI is widely used for industry
benchmarking and rating.
