Integrating Beyond Capability Maturity Models~R

摘要

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)rnhas been successfully pursuing integrated processrnimprovement since 1997 using FAA’s integratedrnCapability Maturity Model~R(FAA-iCMM~R). FAAiCMMrnv1.0 integrated three CMMs: the software,rnsystems engineering, and software acquisition models.rnVersion 2.0 additionally integrates several importantrnimprovement approaches including ISO 9001:2000,rnEIA/IS 731, Malcolm Baldrige National QualityrnAward, CMMI, ISO/IEC TR 15504, ISO/IEC CDrn15288, and ISO/IEC 12207. By integrating beyondrnCMMs, the FAA-iCMM now contains guidance forrnimproving business and technical processes rangingrnfrom enterprise management to operation and disposal.rnThis paper describes FAA-iCMM v2.0, points outrnspecific contributions from new sources, and illustratesrnsome insights gained from taking a broader perspectivern- when integrating beyond CMMs. The paper will be ofrninterest to any organization that has been using multiplernstandards and finds that approach too expensive,rnconfusing, or ineffective. It will also be of interest tornorganizations that do business with the FAA.
