Don't let the cover of this Ring-bound binder fool you, because what's inside will blow your mind. I have been through several CMM (government and private industries) scenario's where different way's of implementation has been the key of success and failure. In search of leveraging better way's of developing core business policies, processes, and procedures, Diana does an excellent job in several key areas: 1. An overview of the CMM and the role it play's within Software Engineering and Acquisition. 2. Describing why it makes since to implement CMM Maturity Level's 2 and 3 concurrently. 3. Walking you through step-by-step with examples, templates, drafts and scenario's of Maturity Level's 2 and 3 implementation process. Diana goes way beyond describing the CMM process; instead she walk's you through her Program 23 (with an XYZ Company) giving the "HOW TO" for implementing CMM Maturity Level's 2 and 3 concurrently. Including in this "HOW TO" are area's such as: realistic time-lines for implementation, drafts for developing Key Process Area's, and examples for establishing engineering group's, processes, policies, and procedures. I concur with the book's description that this binder is for any organization that is beginning to implement as well as organization's that want to improve there current processes, are struggling, or want to be fully compliant with Level 2 and/or Level 3. Diana provides a wealth of knowledge and instruction for the entire lifecycle of effective implementation giving you the "HOW TO" of the equation.
