CMMI is a, what?

　　CMMI full name is the Capability Maturity Model Integration, namely the Capability Maturity Model Integration (also known as: Integration of Software Capability Maturity Model) [1], is an idea, by the Department of Defense in 1994 by the us Department of Defense (United States Department of Defense) and Carnegie Mellon University (Carnegie Mellon University) of Software Engineering research center (Software Engineering Institute, SEISM) and the Defense industry Association (National Defense Industrial Association of common development and research, they plan to all existing now and about to be developed on the implementation of all kinds of Capability Maturity Model (CMM), integrated into a framework, apply to the precondition of this certification is the enterprise with a valid certificate of Software enterprise.

　　Its purpose is to help software enterprise to management and improve the software engineering process, enhance the capacity of development and improvement, thus can on time and within budget to develop high quality software. The basis idea is: as long as focus on sustained effort to establish an effective software engineering process structure, the basis of the practice of ongoing management and process improvement, can overcome difficulties in software development. CMMI to improve an organization's various process provides a single integrated framework, a new integrated model framework eliminates the inconsistency of each model, reduce the repetition between the model, increase transparency and understanding, set up an automatic, extensible framework. So can the overall improvement of the organization's quality and efficiency. CMMI major focus is cost effective, clear focus, process focus and flexibility from four aspects.

　　Second, the cost of CMMI and process?

　　First is the cost problem, because the CMMI unlike some Chinese certification, spend a little money, can walk a process

　　First to the certification company an upfront cost of training and coaching in general around 16 w.

　　CMMI certification process, generally need to import early training, standard process, several projects implement standard process, to evaluate the final several stages, such as normal, is at least six months to 1 year, here we're here to discuss what can be reduced or skipped.

　　1, the early stage of the training, this can be greatly shortened, tutor for take a lecture 2, 3 days, assault training, let everybody understand the CMMI system.

　　2, standardization of import, also can shorten the, let the certification company to provide a set of templates, according to the actual situation, company personnel arrangements assault is complete, then tutors to present an opinion, then modify and review again, 2, 3 times back and forth, calculate the half month time.

　　3, several projects implementation of standard processes, this depends on the company human resources cooperation degree, first let the certification
