Analyzing the Conceptual Relationship Between ISO/IEC 15504 (Software Process Assessment) and the Capability Maturity Model for Software
Mark C. Paulk · 1999
The Capability Maturity Model ® for Software (Software CMM ® ) is probably the best known and most widely used model world-wide for software process improvement. ISO/IEC 15504 is a suite of standards currently under development for software process assessment, which can be expected to affect the continuing evolution of the Software CMM. This paper discusses the similarities and differences between the two models and how they may influence each other as they both continue to evolve.
