CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) und SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability Evaluation) are maturity models that support companies in assessing their current status, regarding the specific skills necessary for developing products or systems. This involves measuring the maturity level of processes, based on the assumption that higher quality processes lead to higher quality results.

However, these maturity models only provide a framework for saying which processes there should be, rather than how they can be implemented.

HOOD has many years of experience in all system and software engineering methodologies and supports organisations in establishing them on the basis of maturity models. We supplement these high-level models with models that enable improvements to be made in small steps. These promote acceptance and clearly communicate the real benefits of the individual measures.
