ABSTRACT

The following discussion contains a lot of “CMMI-ese.” There is just no way around it. When using the CMMI, you must use the terminology associated with it. However, the words are sometimes confusing. A trick we use is to look at the words as separate entities and then just “turn them around.” For example, the next paragraph contains the words process capability. Well, what is that? Look at the words. Process capability is how capable is a process of actually providing the results we are looking for. And so on. Good luck.
