Acknowledgments

The SEI would like to thank the many people who were involved in the development of this document. The SEI has been developing and revising the Capability Maturity Model for Software (CMM) since 1988 based on the knowledge acquired from software process assessments, software capability evaluations, and feedback from both industry and government. This document was produced as part of the revision of CMM Version 1.0, which was released in August, 1991.

The conceptual framework for the capability maturity model was developed by Watts Humphrey. He has advised us as we refined the model and evolved the practices.

This document has taken many drafts to evolve into the current product. We would like to thank the individuals who have worked many hours developing ideas and formulating the practices for this model. In particular, we acknowledge the contributions of Charlie Weber, Mark Paulk, Cynthia Wise, Jim Withey, Mary Beth Chrissis, Suzanne Garcia, and Marilyn Bush.

Many other individuals have helped with their comments, criticisms, and suggestions. They include Ed Averill, Judy Bamberger, Anita Carleton, Bill Curtis, Susan Dart, Lionel Deimel, Peter Feiler, Julia Gale, Jim Hart, Ron Higuera, Purvis Jackson, Tim Kasse, David Kitson, Mike Konrad, Peter Malpass, Mark Manduke, Judah Mogilensky, Warren Moseley, Jim Over, George Pandelios, Bob Park, Jeff Perdue, Dick Phillips, Mike Rissman, Jim Rozum, and Christer von Schantz.

Special thanks go to the members of the CMM Correspondence Group who contributed their time and effort to reviewing drafts of the CMM and providing insightful comments and recommendations. We would like to thank especially those who took time to participate in the March 1990 and April 1992 CMM Workshops, as well as those who took time to meet with us on other occasions to provide comments and recommendations. This effort could not have been accomplished without these practitioners lending their expertise to refine the model.

We would also like to thank the members of the CMM Advisory Board who helped guide us in our efforts. In addition to providing technical insights, they helped focus our effort and worked with us to evaluate and plan our actions to address the many comments received from industry and government reviewers. The current members are Constance Ahara, Kelley Butler, Bill Curtis, Conrad Czaplicki, Raymond Dion, Judah Mogilensky, Martin Owens, Mark Paulk, Sue Stetak, Charlie Weber, and Ronald Willis. Former members who worked with us on CMM v1.0 include Harry Carl, Jim Hess, Jerry Pixton, and Jim Withey.

Lastly, we would like to thank the many individuals who helped produce this document. We would like to thank the members of the Joint Program Office who expedited the approval process. We would also like to thank Ginny Redish and Renee Dutkowski from the American Institutes for Research for their help with editing and designing the document. We very much appreciate the efforts of Carolyn Tady, David White, and Debbie Punjack for their administrative support, and also Mary Beth Chrissis, Suzanne Couturiaux, and Mike Konrad who did the editing, formatting, and whatever else was necessary to get the document produced.
