Competitive Engineering versus CMMI

• Competititive Engineering is an Engineering
  handbook
• It provides concrete processes how to develop
  systems
• The Competitive Engineering processes fulfil
  several of the requirements of CMMI.
• This presentation gives an overview of how
  CE-concepts and processes support the
  implementation of CMMI. The presentation assumes
  your basic understanding of the CE processes.

• CMMI is not an engineering handbook, but a
  process model with requirements for processes,
  which are categorized and specified in Process
  Areas, Goals and Practices.
• The CMMI practices are based on good engineering
  discipline. In the past 30 years, Tom Gilb
  contributed to establishing this engineering
  discipline. Now common terms in the CMMI like
  Software Metrics (1976), Software Inspection
  (1993), Evolutionary Delivery (1988) and Defect
  Prevention have been introduced and/or promoted
  by Tom in the past three decades.
