Future Software attains People CMM Level 3

CHENNAI, AUG. 13. Future Software, a leader in communication software, has been assessed at People CMM Level 3. With this achievement, the company has attained the unique distinction of being the first communication software company in the world to have been assessed at People CMM Level 3, claims a company release.

CMM (capability maturity model) was developed in 1986 by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) located at the Carnegie Mellon University. Over the years, it has emerged as a framework for organisational improvement. CMM focuses on process management and quality improvement concepts for software development. A unique and revolutionary path, CMM lays down a framework marked by five stages of process maturity.

Using the SEI's CMM for software, many organisations have made improvements in their software processes and practices. Many of these organisations have discovered that their continued improvement requires significant changes in the way they manage people, changes that are not fully accounted for in the CMM for software.

While CMM focuses on the process part, People-CMM concentrates on the people part.
