Overview

There are different types of assessment techniques currently in use, including:

Software Capability Evaluations (SCEs, pronounced "skis")
CMM-Based Appraisals for Internal Process Improvement (CBA IPIs)
Standard CMMI Assessment Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI)

We discuss each in turn.

Introduction

There are three families of SCEs:

Acquisition
Contract Monitoring/Process Monitoring
Internal Evaluations

Internal Process Improvement (IPI)

An Acquisition SCE can be used by the organization to evaluate the capabilities of vendors vying for contracts; a Contract Monitoring SCE can be used to monitor the performance of vendors or in-house units performing contracts; a Process Monitoring SCE can be used to baseline current performance, and then later to measure progress against that baseline; and an Internal Evaluation can be used to baseline practices internal to an organization, begin internal process improvement activities,...
