Practical Insight into CMMI, 2nd Edition
 Product Description: The newly revised and expanded edition of the bestseller, Practical Insight into CMMI� is an essential reference for engineering, IT and management professionals striving to grasp the "look and feel of a successful business oriented process improvement implementation". The second edition brings you up to speed on CMMI� Version 1.2 and includes new material on reviews and testing; quality factors, quality criteria, and quality metrics; physical architecture; change control boards, supplier agreement management; interfaces; constraints on alternative solutions; causal analysis techniques, evolving measurements; and applying CMMI� to manufacturing. Taking you beyond the Capability Maturity Model� to the integrated world of systems and software, this comprehensive resource presents CMMI� Version 1.2 in a manner that is easy to comprehend by higher-level managers and practitioners alike. Written by a world-renowned expert in the field, the book offers a clear picture of the activities an organization would be engaged in if their systems and software engineering processes were based on CMMI�. The book teaches the roles and responsibilities of professionals at all levels, from senior and middle management to project leaders and quality assurance personnel. Offering a full appreciation of the power of CMMI� to enhance systems and software process improvement initiatives, this invaluable reference captures the essence of each of process area by presenting it in a practical context. From project monitoring and control, quality management, and requirements engineering, to risk management, integrated teams, and measurement programs, this authoritative volume provides you with a complete understanding of CMMI� and the benefits of this integrated approach in your organization. Summary: Pragmatic and filled with ideas Rating: 5 As in his previous book, 'Action Focused Assessment for Software Process Improvement' (ISBN 1580532861) Kasse does deep into issues and important factors without losing sight of the big picture. His approach to the CMMI is straightforward, but he also provides context and background, and is especially cogent in explaining the differences between the older CMM variants and the integrated model. I particularly liked the way he explains staged and continuous representation approaches, and how he leads you through choosing between the two if implementing CMMI is a goal. The heart of this book, though, is the practical benefits from the CMMI and how to achieve them. He is heavily focused on how the CMMI relates to system engineering and project-based organizations, and goes into detail about integrated teaming, project and product management. In addition, there is a wealth of material on process improvement, quality and related topics such as requirements management. Mr. Kasse's previous books and published works are heavily slanted towards those topics, so there should be no surprise about the amount of emphasis he given them in this book. Of course, the emphasis is warranted because process improvement and quality are two key goals of CMMI, as is integrated teamwork. With a plethora of books about CMMI this one stands out because of the straightforward way Kasse describes the why's and how's, and the clarity with which he discusses implementation (and its barriers). There is no hype or hyperbole, unrealistic promises or contrived benefits - just plain talk that will give you a solid understanding of the CMMI and what it takes to implement it. * Publisher: Artech House Publishers * Number Of Pages: 519 * Publication Date: 2008-08-31 * ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1596932759 * ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781596932753
