Version 2 of the People CMM has also been published as a book in the SEI Series by Addison Wesley. Though the People CMM material in this book is the same as the material found in the People CMM model, the book includes additional case studies that may be helpful to People CMM users.

Extensive information about People CMM-related subjects produced by users of the model (books, articles, white papers, presentations) can be found in the SEI Software Engineering Information Repository. Use of the repository is free, but visitors will need to register and receive a password in order to view all of the information. The People CMM section of the repository includes the following categories: General Information, FAQ/News Groups, Benefits/Case Studies, and Implementation (including Lessons Learned).
