January 15, 2010—A new article about CMMI Version 1.3 appears in the January-February 2010 issue of CrossTalk, the Journal of Defense Software Engineering. The next release of the CMMI Product Suite—an approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes that improve their performance—is expected in November 2010. The Version 1.3 release includes improvements to CMMI for Development (CMMI-DEV), CMMI for Acquisition (CMMI-ACQ), and CMMI for Services (CMMI-SVC) models all during the same development cycle. This cycle also includes improvements to the appraisal method (SCAMPI) and CMMI-related training. The improvements planned for CMMI models do not require major changes or retraining for those currently using CMMI.
