CMMI Staged Level 5
The Software Engineering Institute (SEI), from Carnegie Mellon University, is a federally funded R&D centre sponsored by the US Department of Defence. The SEI's core purpose is to help others make precise improvements to their software engineering capabilities.
Focused in systems and software engineering, integrated product and process development, and supplier sourcing, it allows for an organisation to select process improvement strategies. The model also provides pre-defined process areas for each maturity level.
CMMI® is the American equivalent of the ISO 15504 (SPICE) and is mapped to ISO 9001. It provides organisations with guidance on measuring and continuously improving their processes in a sustainable way.
The CMMI® approach is more and more recognised as the performance measure for software development and engineering companies across the world, especially in the US and Asian markets.
Critical Software was, in 2006, the first Portuguese company to achieve the staged level 3. Recently, in 2009, we achieved staged level 5, again for the first time in our Country.
