PPQC offers a full suite of products and services to support organizations using the CMMI®.  We understand the challenges that organizations face and can assist you every step of the way whether you are just getting started with the CMMI® or are already established at Maturity Level 3.

Getting Started

If you are just getting started with the CMMI®, our step-by-step approach will help you rapidly recognize necessary improvements.

We incorporate training, appraisals, action planning, targeted consulting, and periodic guidance to ensure that organizations are able to

• Set measurable improvement goals
• Launch action teams
• Institutionalize process improvements

In addition, PPQC has workshops aimed at each Process Area.  We can help you address gaps and focus less on writing documents and more on tailoring and institutionalizing processes.

Since its launch in 1993, the Software Engineering Institute’s Capability Maturity Model^® (CMM^®) has emerged as an industry standard for improving processes used to develop and manage software.  Its recommended path for increasing organizational capability is proven to enhance on-time delivery and product quality while reducing software development costs.

In 2000, the Software Engineering Institute introduced the Capability Maturity Model Integration^® (CMMI^®), which extends the Software CMM to include systems engineering and supplier sourcing best practices.
