The CMMI provides a framework for establishing the crucial elements of effective processes to:
- Improve delivery of performance, cost, and schedule
- Provide competitive world-class products and services
- Implement an integrated enterprise business perspective
A long-established premise is that the quality of the processes used to manufacture a product has a major influence on its quality. This is highly visible in major corporations such as Toyota and through the CMMI; the same concept can be applied to systems and software engineering.
The CMMI is a “gold” standard that leverages and continues to leverage off the experiences of leading global organisations. By investing in CMMI, you are preparing for the future and leveraging off best-in-class.
To cover the end-to-end engineering life-cycle phases, CMMI is available as three constellations
- CMMI for Development
- CMMI for Services
- CMMI for Acquisition
CMMI for Acquisition
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and the CMMI for Acquisition provides a framework for initiating and managing the successful acquisition of products and services.
It provides expert guidance on:
- Sourcing and selecting suppliers
- Developing, negotiating and awarding supplier agreements
- Managing the acquisition of both products and services
- Oversight of supplier activities
CMMI for Development
With its origins dating back to the Software CMM, the CMMI for Development provides a framework of world best practice that can be applied to the engineering of software and systems.
It provides expert guidance on:
- Eliciting and analysing product requirements to ensure the “right” product is developed
- Developing alternative solutions to determine the best design to implement.
- Integrating and assembling components, both software and hardware, to ensure the final product behaves properly and meets the end-user needs.
CMMI for Services
Extending the benefits of CMMI for Development, the CMMI for Services provides a framework for delivering quality services to customers and end users.
Whilst CMMI for Services targets the support and sustainment phase of a product life-cycle, it can also be applied to any industry that provides services such as finance, health care, retail or hospitality.
It provides expert guidance on:
- Delivering standard services and developing strategic services
- Introducing or upgrading a new service whilst maintaining the current levels of service
- Resolving and preventing incidents
- Continuing services during catastrophic events such as fire or flood
- Managing the availability and capacity of services
All three constellations are unpinned by a core of practices including:
- Managing requirements and risk
- Planning, monitoring and controlling projects and work
- Staff development and training
- Measurement programs
- Quality assurance
- Formalising decision making
- Establishing an infrastructure for managing and sharing knowledge
- Predicting service performance and product quality
- Introducing new technologies and innovation
