CMMI Process Improvement for Systems and Software Development

Leading organizations in aerospace, product manufacturing, finance and banking, and other industries that rely on complex system and software development projects have successfully improved development processes by adopting the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI®). Other organizations embarking on CMMI initiatives are seeking guidance on how to get started. However, challenges still remain as projects continue to grow in complexity, and new governance and compliance programs require increased controls over the systems and software development lifecycle.

Achieving the advanced best practices of CMMI Levels 2, 3, and beyond demands development tools that can automate compliant and efficient development processes.

• Telelogic® Dashboard™ provides core metrics and visualizations to support the Project Monitoring and Control as well as the Measurement and Analysis process areas of the CMMI framework. Dashboard gives managers quick insight into project risk, status, and trends by automating the collection, analysis, and reporting of measurement data from Telelogic® Synergy™ and Telelogic® DOORS®.
• Telelogic® Focal Point™ automates the Requirements Development process area and Telelogic DOORS automates the Requirements Management process areas of the CMMI framework. This comprehensive requirements solution delivers powerful capabilities for capturing, linking, analyzing, and managing changes to requirements and their traceability throughout the project lifecycle.
• Telelogic® Harmony™ is a family of systems and software development processes that strike a balance between agility and governance suitable for organizations with regulatory constraints or mandated guidelines such as the CMMI. Individual members of the Telelogic Harmony family address the specific needs of IT software development, embedded and real-time software development, and systems engineering. Telelogic Harmony leverages and extends industry best practices to connect people, process, best practices and tools. Continuous process improvement is facilitated via planned iteration retrospectives, and guidance is provided to automate the process with supporting tools.
• Telelogic Synergy delivers automation of the configuration management process area of the CMMI framework. Synergy provides lifecycle control for your company's digital assets, enabling you to improve the quality and accelerate the delivery of advanced software and systems. Telelogic Synergy is comprised of: Telelogic Synergy for task-based change management and Telelogic® Change™ for Web-based change request tracking and reporting.

IBM offers a portfolio of products that not only help you achieve advance best practices of CMMI levels, but also helps you monitor your performance so you can continuously improve. Telelogic® Focal Point™ for Requirements Development; Telelogic DOORS for requirements management; Telelogic Synergy for change and configuration management; and Telelogic Dashboard together deliver the robust support that process improvement programs using CMMI need.
