CAPABILITY MATURITY MANAGEMENT

Given that each feature is reliant on the others it is important to ensure that there is a common approach to managing each of them and the processes they employ. A capability maturity model will act as the core foundation for assuring that all the features are functioning as a whole.

Capability maturity models have a long history. One of the earliest versions in the IT space was to address systems engineering and was called CMU/SEI-95-MM-003, which was published in late 1995 by Carnegie Mellon University. This provided the foundation for other models and promoted the development of a security model called the Systems Security Engineering CMM (SSE-CMM), published in 1999 and managed by the International System ...
