CMMI can help:   Integrate traditionally separate organizations.   Set process improvement goals and priorities.   Provide guidance for quality processes.   Provide a yardstick for appraising current practices. Expected Business Benefits   Substantial reduction in systems integration and test time with greater probability of success.   Cause integration of, and interaction among, the various engineering functions.   Extend SW-CMM benefits to the total project and organization.   Employ systems engineering principles in software development.   Increase and improve SE content in programs.   Leverage previous process improvement investments. Expected Technical Benefits   Requirements development and management.   Systems design and development.   Systems integration.   Risk management.   Measurement and analysis.   Other engineering-related activities.
