lApplication of the SA-CMM® helps establish the infrastructure
to better manage acquisitions (software and systems)
lForces
an “introspective” of how the organization does business and
how it wants to do business—not on how the supplier (contractor)
does business
lKey concepts of
the SA-CMM®
–It
targets acquisition and management
–Someone
is in charge from the acquisition organization for the management
of each acquisition: a team is established
–Each
acquisition is planned using specific processes and procedures
–The
plan is executed and tracked
–Work
is verified by senior management
–Policies,
processes, descriptions, and procedures are consistent with
the SA-CMM® and the way the
organization wants to do business
