Introduction

• Almost all organizations in the world regardless
  to what are they specialized in need to have a
  guidance on how to gain control of their
  processes for developing and maintaining software
  and how to evolve the new software engineering
  technology in their projects.
• That was the idea behind developing the CMM.

4
What is CMM?

• The Capability Maturity Model for Software
  (SW-CMM or CMM) is a model used by organizations
  for appraising the maturity of their software
  processes , increase their software process
  capability and for identifying practices that
  will increase the maturity of those processes.
• It originally evolved from the need for the
  Department of Defense of the United State.

5
Why it was involved in organization?

• Although software engineers and managers often
  know their problems in great detail, they may
  disagree on which improvements are most
  important. Without an organized strategy for
  improvement, it is difficult to achieve consensus
  between management and the professional staff on
  what improvement activities to undertake first.

Uses of CMM

• There are at least four uses of the CMM that are
  supported
• 1-Assessments teams.
• 2-Evaluation teams
• 3-Managers and technical staff
• 4-Process improvement groups

7
Cont. Uses of CMM

• Assessments teams will use the CMM to identify
  strengths and weaknesses in the organization.
• Evaluation teams will use the CMM to identify the
  risks of selecting among different contractors
  for awarding business and to monitor contracts.
• Managers and technical staff will use the CMM to
  understand the activities necessary to plan and
  implement a software process improvement program
  for their organization.
• Process improvement groups, will use the CMM as a
  guide to help them define and improve the
  software process in their organization.

8
The architecture of the SW-CMM

• SW-CMM is composed of 5 levels
• 1-initial level
• 2-repeatable level
• 3-defined level
• 4-managed level
• 5-optimizing level
