Capability Maturity Models

The success of technology-based projects comes about from the availability of applicable technologies, the skills, knowledge and attitudes of the people performing the project, and how these people go about performing the project (the processes which they use). Three key capabilities required by organizations for successful performance of most technology-based projects are those of project management, systems engineering and software engineering.

The process maturity (process quality) for each of the above processes within an organisation may be measured. Each measurement may be based on a Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for the process. The CMM serves as a process reference model for processes corresponding to differing levels of process capability. The CMM is used in association with an assessment method.

EIA 731 - Release

EIA, INCOSE, and EPIC Announce the Release of EIA/IS-731, Systems Engineering Capability Model

A cooperative effort of three organizations, intent on the improvement of the Systems Engineering discipline, has resulted in the issuance of a new Interim Standard for defining, improving and assessing Systems Engineering capability. The three organizations involved in developing the new standard are the Government Electronic and Information Technology Association (GEIA) of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA), the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), and the Enterprise Process Improvement Collaboration (EPIC).

Software Acquisition Capability Maturity Model (SA-CMM) v1.01

Government and industry have the need to assess the maturity of their internal software acquisition processes. The purpose of assessing the maturity of organizations' software acquisition processes is to identify areas needing improvement. In order for organizations to make improvements, they must know the ultimate goal and what is required to achieve that goal. Additionally, progress toward achieving the goal must be measurable. A capability maturity model provides the framework needed to facilitate the desired improvement. The Software Acquisition Capability Maturity Model (SA-CMM) has been developed to provide such a framework.
