All businesses use computers and software to help run their business. These technologies can range from a sole proprietor using Office to generate invoices to a full blown Enterprise Resource Planning in a multi-billion dollar multinational corporation. Unfortunately many of us have seen painful systems implementations. Has anyone experienced late deliveries, last minute crunches, spiraling costs, multiple surprises, functions do not work correctly, too much rework and/or frustrated users?
A great way to expertly manage systems and technology implementations is to use the CMMI model, which is a public source tool maintained by the Software Engineering Institute and Carnegie Mellon University.
Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI) is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes. It can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a division, or an entire organization. CMMI helps integrate traditionally separate organizational functions, set process improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality processes, and provide a point of reference for appraising current processes.
