CMMI for Development, Version 1.3
ii Preface
The Product Team wrote, reviewed, revised, discussed, and agreed on the
structure and technical content of the CMMI Product Suite, including the
framework, models, training, and appraisal materials. Development
activities were based on multiple inputs. These inputs included an A-
Specification and guidance specific to each release provided by the
Steering Group, source models, change requests received from the user
community, and input received from pilots and other stakeholders.
The CCB is the official mechanism for controlling changes to CMMI models,
appraisal related documents, and Introduction to CMMI training. As such,
this group ensures integrity over the life of the product suite by reviewing all
proposed changes to the baseline and approving only those changes that
satisfy identified issues and meet criteria for the upcoming release.
Members of the groups involved in developing CMMI-DEV, V1.3 are listed
in Appendix C.
Audience
The audience for CMMI-DEV includes anyone interested in process
improvement in a development environment. Whether you are familiar with
the concept of Capability Maturity Models or are seeking information to
begin improving your development processes, CMMI-DEV will be useful to
you. This model is also intended for organizations that want to use a
reference model for an appraisal of their development related processes.

history of models used for process improvement and different process
improvement approaches.

Chapter 3, Tying It All Together, assembles the model components and
explains the concepts of maturity levels and capability levels.
3
An appraisal is an examination of one or more processes by a trained team of professionals using a reference model (e.g.,
CMMI-DEV) as the basis for determining strengths and weaknesses.
4
A process area is a cluster of related practices in an area that, when implemented collectively, satisfies a set of goals
