Gallagher (Northrop Grumman Mission Systems), Phillips, Shrum (both Software Engineering Institute), and Richter (Institute for Defense Analyses) describe best practices for the acquisition of products and services for customers and endusers. The authors present the full CMMI-ACQ, V1.2 model, a collection of best practices generated from the CMMI V1.2 Architecture and Framework, and also include other tips, hints, and cross-references that supplement the model practices, and additional chapters focusing on the needs of industry and government. Coverage includes an overview of CMMI-ACQ, including essential concepts and useful background; relationships among the components; adoption and use of the model for process improvement and benchmarking; generic goals and generic practices; and detailed descriptions of each of the CMMI-ACQ process areas. For readers interested in process improvement in an acquisition environment, who are already familiar with one or more CMMI models or are totally new to them.
