  Vision of the SEI
  The right software, delivered defect free, on time and on cost, every time.
 
> To be successful, integrated teams of developers, acquirers, and software users must have the necessary software engineering skills and knowledge to ensure that the right software is delivered to end users.
> “Right software” implies software that satisfies requirements for functionality, performance, and cost throughout its lifetime.
> “Defect-free” software is achieved either through exhaustive and endless rework or by developing the code right the first time. The SEI’s body of work in technical and management practices is focused on developing it right the first time, which results not only in higher quality, but also in predictable and improved schedule and cost.
