Abstract

Summary:

The staged representation can provide structure for a continuous-focus initiative:

  • as a guide for big-picture "strategic" planning.
  • to "chunk" higher-granularity activities for senior management.
  • as a means for representing high-level success in "industry standard" terms that key stakeholders will more readily understand.

Please note that current and future CMMI research, training, and information has been transitioned to the CMMI Institute, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carnegie Mellon University.
