DESCRIPTION
The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a process improvement framework developed more than 20 years ago and governed by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University (USA). CMMI is sponsored by the U.S. government (especially the U.S. Department of Defense) and is in use by organizations of all sizes worldwide. It has helped to streamline costs, reduce rework and defect rates and improve timeliness and quality.
CMMI by itself is a process improvement framework that has been developed to address a broad range of application environments. There are three different models based on the CMMI framework.
It is possible to integrate CMMI with other frameworks and best practices, such as agile development, PMP, and Six Sigma. That is because CMMI doesn't define how software development has to be done. Instead, it defines what must be done in order to improve development processes. Therefore, the CMMI framework supports agile principles by providing a reference framework for successful development environments. It supports the integration of Six Sigma with the option of implementing CMMI process areas as Six Sigma (e.g., DMAIC) projects. PMP is also supported due to overlapping between Project Management's Body of Knowledge (PMBOK's) knowledge areas and CMMI process areas.
