The People CMM (P-CMM) model provides guidance to acquisition organizations for initiating and managing the acquisition of products and services that meet the needs of the customer.

The model is also available in the book People CMM: A Framework for Human Capital Management, 2nd Edition as part of the SEI Series in Software Engineering. The book includes the complete model itself, guidance on how to interpret and apply it, guidance on planning and implementing improvement, and case studies that illustrate how the People CMM has led organizations to effective, repeatable and lasting success in workforce development. You can purchase it at most book retailers.

Managing Culture—People-CMM, an article published by Ezine, explains that the People CMM fills a gap that enables improvement.
