This method is veryimportant, as it is used to determine an organization's capability and maturitylevels (which are often used as criteria in awarding government and defenseorientedbids). SCAMPI specifically stands for: The Standard CMMI AppraisalMethod for Process Improvement. These authors have considerable experiencein helping their organizations appraise their respective levels of maturity inrelation to the CMMI. In this handy new book, they impart their advice on notonly achieving an accurate assessment, but also what next steps need to betaken for further process improvement.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49582812430609,"sku":"GOR003624620","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50571655676177,"sku":"CIN0321228766VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50575048835345,"sku":"CIN0321228766G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0321228766.jpg?v=1750739434"},{"product_id":"cmmi-sm-distilled-book-dennis-m-ahern-9780201735000","title":"CMMI(SM) Distilled","description":"With CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration), top software quality experts have gone far beyond the successful CMM, codifying every aspect of model-based process improvement in one integrated framework. This concise, authoritative guide has three goals: to help understand the benefits of an integrated approach to process improvement; to introduce the CMMI project's new tools for multi-discipline process improvement; and to provide practical guidance in selecting and using these tools. The authors begin by identifying key shortcomings of traditional process improvement in 21st century environments that involve more people and organizations, must be delivered more quickly, and utilize the latest innovations. Next, they introduce the new CMMI standard, showing how it overcomes these limitations, adding substantial quality and value in development, systems engineering, acquisition, and other key areas. Finally, the authors walk through the process of implementing and using CMMI, presenting lessons learned by pioneers in integrated process improvement.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50345798598929,"sku":"CIN0201735008G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52599111745809,"sku":"CIN0201735008A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52859871953169,"sku":"CIN0201735008VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0201735008.jpg?v=1751389090"},{"product_id":"cmmi-distilled-book-dennis-m-ahern-9780321461087","title":"CMMI Distilled","description":"CMMI (R) (Capability Maturity Model (R) Integration) is an integrated, extensible framework for improving process capability and quality across an organization. It has become a cornerstone in the implementation of continuous improvement for both industry and governments around the world. Rich in both detail and guidance for a wide set of organizational domains, the CMMI Product Suite continues to evolve and expand.    Updated for CMMI Version 1.2, this third edition of CMMI (R) Distilled again provides a concise and readable introduction to the model, as well as straightforward, no-nonsense information on integrated, continuous process improvement. The book now also includes practical advice on how to use CMMI in tandem with other approaches, including Six Sigma and Lean, as well as new and expanded guidance on preparing for, managing, and using appraisals.     Written so that readers unfamiliar with model-based process improvement will understand how to get started with CMMI, the book offers insights for those more experienced as well. It can help battle-scarred process improvement veterans, and experienced suppliers and acquirers of both systems and services, perform more effectively. CMMI (R) Distilled is especially appropriate for executives and managers who need to understand why continuous improvement is valuable, why CMMI is a tool of choice, and how to maximize the return on their efforts and investments. Engineers of all kinds (systems, hardware, software, and quality, as well as acquisition personnel and service providers) will find ideas on how to perform better.    The three authors, all involved with CMMI since its inception, bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to this book. They highlight the pitfalls and shortcuts that are all too often learned by costly experience, and they provide a context for understanding why the use of CMMI continues to grow around the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50348241092881,"sku":"CIN0321461088G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50348407521553,"sku":"CIN0321461088A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0321461088.jpg?v=1751037907"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-dennis-m-ahern.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
