Another release of CMMI — CMMI for Acquisition (CMMI-ACQ), Version 1.2 — will be released in November 2007. CMMI for Acquisition addresses acquisition and outsourcing processes in government and industry.
CMMI for Development Version 1.2 consists of 22 process areas with capability or maturity levels. CMMI was created and is maintained by a team consisting of members from industry, government, and the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) and is available for download from the SEI.
CMMI should be adapted to each individual organization according to its business objectives. Organizations cannot be CMMI “certified.” Instead, an organization is appraised (e.g., using an appraisal method like SCAMPI) and is awarded a 1-5 level rating. The rating results of such an appraisal can be published if released by the appraised organization.
