"Interpreting the CMMI: A Process Improvement Approach, Second Edition"


SAM replaced Software Subcontract Management (SSM) in the CMM for Software.
SSM was the key process area most often tailored out of assessments and
software process improvement activities because if there were no subcontractors
used, then this area did not apply. Although SAM has been broadened somewhat,
it is still the most tailored-out process area. In fact, it is the only process area that is
allowed to be tailored out??”that means, SAM may be declared ???not applicable??? to
the organization??™s business. Including SAM in the CMMI also makes a correlation
to the Software Acquisition Capability Maturity Model (SA-CMM) more plausible.
Although both SAM and the Software Acquisition Model discuss suppliers,
vendors, procurements, and acquisition roles, more information from a different
perspective (i.e., that of an acquisition or procurement offi ce) may be found in the
Acquisition Model.
IPPD is about forming teams that include subject matter experts from all areas
needed to produce the product for the customer. Suffi ce it to say that IPPD is about
establishing and conducting integrated teams in a formal manner.
