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

For those customers who bought into and applied the CMM
for Software, Systems Engineering may not be part of their work and
simply may not apply. The biggest growth sector in the marketplace right
now for technical work is not large, bureaucratically structured organizations,
but small, software-oriented shops. Why make taxpayers pay for a
model that is not universally needed?
Counterpoint: Systems Engineering is necessary no matter how large or
small the organization. Very few organizations develop just software??”
there are always systems issues to be taken into consideration, platform
and hardware requirements, as well as interfacing with other groups or
individuals responsible for some part of the system being built. Good
systems engineering practices flowing into and out of software engineering
tasks can only improve the software engineering effort. CMMI has
been successfully adopted in many different types of organizations using
many different development approaches. See Chapter 23, which discusses
implementation of CMMI in an Agile development organization.
