Acknowledgments
The SEI would like to thank the many people who were involved in the development
of this document. The SEI has been developing and revising the Capability
Maturity Model for Software (CMM) since 1988 based on the knowledge acquired
from software process assessments, software capability evaluations, and
fe1 feedback from both industry and government. This document was produced
as part of the revision of CMM Version 1.0, which was released in August,
1991.
The conceptual framework for the capability maturity model was developed
by Watts Humphrey. He has advised us as we refined the model and evolved
the practices.
This document has taken many drafts to evolve into the current product.
We would like to thank the individuals who have worked many hours developing
ideas and formulating the practices for this model. In particular, we
acknowledge the contributions of Charlie Weber, Mark Paulk, Cynthia Wise,
Jim Withey, Mary Beth Chrissis, Suzanne Garcia, and Marilyn Bush.
Many other individuals have helped with their comments, criticisms,
and suggestions. They include Ed Averill, Judy Bamberger, Anita Carleton,
Bill Curtis, Susan Dart, Lionel Deimel, Peter Feiler, Julia Gale, Jim
Hart, Ron Higuera, Purvis Jackson, Tim Kasse, David Kitson, Mike Konrad,
Peter Malpass, Mark Manduke, Judah Mogilensky, Warren Moseley, Jim Over,
George Pandelios, Bob Park, Jeff Perdue, Dick Phillips, Mike Rissman,
Jim Rozum, and Christer von Schantz.
Special thanks go to the members of the CMM Correspondence Group who
contributed their time and effort to reviewing drafts of the CMM and providing
insightful comments and recommendations. We would like to thank especially
those who took time to participate in the March 1990 and April 1992 CMM
Workshops, as well as those who took time to meet with us on other occasions
to provide comments and recommendations. This effort could not have been
accomplished without these practitioners lending their expertise to refine
the model.
We would also like to thank the members of the CMM Advisory Board who
helped guide us in our efforts. In addition to providing technical insights,
they helped focus our effort and worked with us to evaluate and plan our
actions to address the many comments received from industry and government
reviewers. The current members are Constance Ahara, Kelley Butler, Bill
Curtis, Conrad Czaplicki, Raymond Dion, Judah Mogilensky, Martin Owens,
Mark Paulk, Sue Stetak, Charlie Weber, and Ronald Willis. Former members
who worked with us on CMM v1.0 include Harry Carl, Jim Hess, Jerry Pixton,
and Jim Withey.
Lastly, we would like to thank the many individuals who helped produce
this document. We would like to thank the members of the Joint Program
Office who expedited the approval process. We would also like to thank
Ginny Redish and Renee Dutkowski from the American Institutes for Research
for their help with editing and designing the document. We very much appreciate
the efforts of Carolyn Tady, David White, and Debbie Punjack for their
administrative support, and also Mary Beth Chrissis, Suzanne Couturiaux,
and Mike Konrad who did the editing, formatting, and whatever else was
necessary to get the document produced.
