Topic: CMMI -- Overhead Monster or Process Mastery?
In 1991 the SEI published the CMM for Software (SW-CMM). Since that
time, more than 30,000 people have been trained in the SW-CMM, and more
than 2,400 organizations have been assessed. In 2000, the CMM Integration
(CMMI®) was introduced. With both models, organizations have
reported measured improvements in product quality, shortened schedules,
and lower total costs. Today some organizations continue to wrestle with
questions about the appropriateness and fit of software improvement
models in their organizations.
The presentation and discussion on January 11 will overview the CMMI
and explore options for tailoring the implementation of the model to
align with the unique needs of the organization. The material will
likely eliminate some doubts about the CMMI and potentially raise new
ones. In either case, those who attend will have better information
on which to base their opinions.

This seminar is open to UCAR software engineers and all other
