* The latest book in the highly-respected SEI Series in Software Engineering: an ideal follow-on to our successful CMMI, Second Edition (Chrissis)
Today, 70% of every dollar spent pays for development that was acquired or outsourced from external sources. CMMI-ACQ is designed to help any organization acquire products and services that meet its requirements more effectively, and to do so more efficiently and at lower cost. Many organizations in both government and industry, including the U.S. Department of Defense, are eager to implement CMMI-ACQ, but they need authoritative guidance to do so. Now, for the first time, there's a comprehensive guide to CMMI-ACQ from the organization that created it: the Software Engineering Institute (SEI). CMMI-ACQ illuminates the entire product/service acquisition process, showing how to avoid common problems, manage acquisition more effectively, and communicate with suppliers in language they will understand. Modeled after the popular CMMI, Second Edition (Chrissis), this equally authoritative book presents the complete CMMI-ACQ along with all the insights, tips, and case studies needed to use it effectively. Coverage includes; process areas and relationships among them; capability and maturity levels; and customizing CMMI-ACQ to the specific needs of any organization. This book is expected to be used to complement SEI's official courses on CMMI-ACQ, as well as those offered by third-party partners and internal implementers within business and government organizations.
