SEI Capability Maturity Model
Executive Presentation
Overview and Objectives
The Executive Presentation of the Software Engineering Institute Capability Maturity Model is conducted to assist senior managers in making the commitments to software process improvement and conducting the oversight of progress needed to obtain the organization capability and practice intended.
It will deepen the understanding among participants in the history of software process maturity, the structure of the maturity framework, appraisal mechanisms used, and strategies for managing and accomplishing improvement. The presentation overviews the SEI Capability Maturity Model in the context of strategic software management. It outlines the Project Suite Defined Program and its mechanisms for rolling out and overseeing software process improvement operations.
With this knowledge, senior managers can facilitate the desired outcome of raising the software process maturity of the organization to the industrial level needed for new business capture without adding risk in cost, schedule, quality, and mission performance to current commitments.
