What is SEI?CMM?CMMI?ISO?IEEE?ANSI?Will it help

    * SEI = 'Software Engineering Institute' at Carnegie-Mellon University; initiated by the U.S. Defense Department to help improve software development processes.
    * CMM = 'Capability Maturity Model', now called the CMMI ('Capability Maturity Model Integration'), developed by the SEI. It's a model of 5 levels of process 'maturity' that determine effectiveness in delivering quality software. It is geared to large organizations such as large U.S. Defense Department contractors. However, many of the QA processes involved are appropriate to any organization, and if reasonably applied can be helpful. Organizations can receive CMMI ratings by undergoing assessments by qualified auditors.

       Level 1 - characterized by chaos, periodic panics, and heroic
                 efforts required by individuals to successfully
                 complete projects.  Few if any processes in place;
                 successes may not be repeatable.

       Level 2 - software project tracking, requirements management,
                 realistic planning, and configuration management
                 processes are in place; successful practices can
                 be repeated.

       Level 3 - standard software development and maintenance processes
                 are integrated throughout an organization; a Software
                 Engineering Process Group is is in place to oversee
                 software processes, and training programs are used to
                 ensure understanding and compliance.

       Level 4 - metrics are used to track productivity, processes,
                 and products.  Project performance is predictable,
                 and quality is consistently high.

       Level 5
- the focus is on continouous process improvement. The
                 impact of new processes and technologies can be
                 predicted and effectively implemented when required.
