Description: The SEI's Capability Maturity Model (CMM) has been widely adopted by companies seeking enhanced quality and heightened productivity in software development. The CMM enables managers to measure their organization's capabilities against a recognized standard, and to determine their relative level of maturity. This "CMM Implementation Guide" provides detailed instruction on how to put this model into practice and thereby raise an organization to the next level. Drawing on her own first-hand experience leading software process improvement groups in a large corporation, Kim Caputo provides invaluable advice and information for anyone charged specifically with implementing the CMM. For those faced with this critical task, the book points out problems that are likely to be encountered and offers solutions that have been demonstrated to work.
-- Templates, sample documents, and presentation materials included in appendixes and on accompanying CD-ROM facilitate the work of both new and experienced software process professionals.
-- This book is the only CMM book written from "down in the trenches".
-- The book is a hands-on complement to the more descriptive Carnegie Mellon University/Software Engineering Institute book The Capability Maturity Model (0-201-54644-7).
