	STSC CrossTalk - Transitioning from EIA/IS-731 to CMMI - Jul 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The CMMI includes the '731 base-advanced practice pair that addresses collecting stakeholder needs and the advanced practice of stakeholder needs elicitation, although some clarity in the distinction between the concepts is lost.
		The CMMI practice on development of design alternatives and selection criteria invokes considerations of life cycle cost, performance, complexity, robustness, expansion and growth, cost drivers, technology limitations, sensitivity to construction methods and materials, risk, and evolution of requirement drivers and technology.
		The CMMI Decision Analysis and Resolution process improves on the '731 Assess and Select focus area by adding a practice on establishing and using criteria to determine which issues to subject to a formal decision analysis and resolution process.

		Started in 1998, CMMI is an effort to codify the tenets of model-based process improvement and provide a single, integrated framework for improving engineering processes in organizations that span several disciplines.
		The philosophy, architecture, and models of CMMI products are presented, and examples of the models are annotated in detail to provide a better understanding of their contents.
		This book's organization and the clear descriptions of the existing source models from which the CMMI is derived will arm you with enough information to either plan a transition to the CMMI or evaluate the model as an implementation goal.

		It's been a learning experience for me. When you set an agile guy loose on a formal traditional software engineering problem such as CMMI conformance something unusual is bound to happen.
		For me, it was the discovery that the CMM was inspired by the work of Edwards Deming and the realization that levels 2 through 4 are all about special cause variation with level 5 being about continuous improvement (or reduction of common cause variation).
		It's validation that it may be possible to deliver an agile, lightweight, low overhead, low bureaucracy CMMI solution.
