About SEI-CMM

The SEI Capability Maturity Model for Software (SW-CMM) describes a framework that organizations can use to determine their ability to develop and maintain software; it is a model for organizational improvement. The SW-CMM is based on the process management work of W. Edwards Deming, Joseph M. Juran, and Philip B. Crosby, and can be applied by organizations to improve their software process through a software process assessment. SW-CMM can also be applied by acquisition agencies to select qualified software vendors via contractor evaluations.
