Synopsis: The SEI Series in Software Engineering This book demystifies the CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration), introducing students to the key points behind this new initiative. The CMMI is a natural extension of the original CMM, showing the benefits of integrating an organization's process improvement initiative to touch areas beyond software (systems engineering, acquisition, human resources, etc.). The primary goal of the second edition is to paint a broad picture of the benefits of integrated process improvement in an easily-digestible format.
