About the Meeting:
| The Capability Maturity Model®
Integration (CMMI®) project is a
collaborative effort to provide models for achieving
product and process improvement in software
engineering. The primary focus of the project is to
build tools to support improvement of processes used
to develop and sustain systems and products. The
output of the CMMI project is a suite of products,
which provides an integrated approach across the
enterprise for improving processes, while reducing
the redundancy, complexity and cost resulting from
the use of separate and multiple capability maturity
models (CMM®s). |
