PITTSBURGH: Carnegie Mellon university had initiated a project to produce and support an updated version of the Capability Maturity Model for software (SW-CMM) a guide for improving software development and management process that is currently used in more than fifty countries worldwide.
This updated Capability Maturity Mode software will be based on the ground breaking and widely respected work done by Carnegie Mellon Universitys software Engineering Institute (SEI) since 1987. While the initial work of SW-CMM was funded by the US department of defense, the new work will be sponsored by the university, through its institute for software research international (ISRI) within the school of computer science (SCS).
Carnegie Mellon provost Mark Kamlet said, " We are pleased to be taking this significant step to demonstrate the university's commitment to support the software Capability Maturity Model user communtiy, especially IT and commercial software organization. It is our belief that Carnegie Mellon's support for continued availability of both the updated software CMM through ISRI and the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) through the SEI will help to support quality and continuous improvement efforts for a broad and diverse global user communtiy".
