Abstract : As steward of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for Software (SW-CMM) and its related products, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) collects information related to the use of the CMM and provides feedback to the user community. Information collected related to assessment findings and maturity level ratings are reported to the community in the Maturity Profile that is updated twice a year. The Maturity Profile provides a current status of the software community (reporting organizations' size and maturity levels), community trends (growth in number of assessments performed and shifts in the maturity profile over time), and organizational trends (analysis of key process area [KPA] satisfaction and time to move tip in maturity). The Maturity Profile summarizes assessment data into industry aggregates and can be viewed on the SEI Web site: http: www.sei. cmu.edu/sema/profile.html. The August 2001 Maturity Profile represents data from 1,483 CMM-Based Appraisal for Internal Process Improvement (CBA IPI) assessments.
