Abstract
ABSTRACTThe number of process improvement models and standards is vast. [Sheard 1997], [Quagmire 1997]. Even restricting consideration to official Capability Maturity ModelsSM (CMMSM)1 leaves a large enough number of models that an organization attempting to mature its processes has a variety to choose from, each with a different focus. The decision of which model to select may be difficult, as there may be parts of two or more models that are needed to meet all of the organization's improvement objectives. In these cases, perhaps the best choice is not to choose, but to integrate. Two U.S. government organizations, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and U.S. Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) have consolidated existing CMMs into integrated models that best fit each organization's needs. This paper describes the two approaches used to accomplish the CMM integration.
