Today's IT organizations seek to improve their software development processes. However, without a consistent, repeatable, and measurable software development process - this goal is not achieved. Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute (SEI), developed the software development Capability Maturity Model (CMM) in the early 1990's and has recently updated this model to include engineering (CMMI). These models specify guidelines for documenting and managing best practices for planning, engineering, managing, and maintaining software development activities.

Industry data reveals that organizations can realize as much as an eight-for-one return by properly implementing CMM/CMMI-based process improvement methods. This return is generated by significant reductions in development times and improved productivity.
