This Month’s Meeting:

Program Manager:   Professor Mats Heimdahl - UMSEC

Topic:  CMMI Version 1.2 and Beyond

Speaker: Mary Beth Chrissis, Software Engineering Institute

Abstract:

The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) with the help of NDIA, and others in the community are continually improving the CMMI Product Suite. At the end of 2007, the SEI released the CMMI for Acquisition Model (CMMI-ACQ). This presentation will provide an overview of CMMI and discuss the changes to the model, training, and appraisal materials.  It will also address the strategic direction of the CMMI Project, including the future CMMI release of new constellations such as CMMI for Services.
