return to CMMI main page

November 17, 2006

Addison-Wesley Publishing published the second edition of the book, CMMI: Guidelines for Process Integration and Product Improvement on November 17, 2006. This book, written by Mary Beth Chrissis, Mike Konrad, and Sandy Shrum, was released as part of the SEI Series in Software Engineering.

This book reflects the recently released CMMI for Development (CMMI-DEV), Version 1.2, which describes best practices for the development and maintenance of products and services across their entire lifecycle. By integrating essential bodies of knowledge, CMMI for Development provides a single, comprehensive framework for organizations to assess their development and maintenance processes, implement improvements, and measure progress.

In the new edition, the authors have added tips, hints, and cross-references in the margins (in color) throughout the process areas to help you better understand, apply, and find more information about the content of the process areas. The book also includes brief, insightful perspectives on CMMI written by people influential in the model's creation, development, and transition. A new case study from Raytheon illustrates a real-world application of the model to a services organization. Whether you are new to CMMI or familiar with an earlier version, if you need to know about, evaluate, or put the latest version of CMMI for Development into practice, this book is an essential resource.
