Systems Engineering CapabilityModel• Needless to say, an environment with two models developed by tworeputable organizations that purported to address the same issues was ripefor a model war.• Which model would emerge as the "standard" by which organizations couldbe evaluated?• After a year of heated discussions, in 1996 EPIC and INCOSE agreed towork together under the auspices of the Government Electronic andInformation Technology Association (GEIA) of the Electronic IndustriesAlliance (EIA), with the goal of merging the two models into a single EIAstandard.• The result was the interim standard EIA/IS 731, Systems EngineeringCapability Model (SECM).• By issuing the interim standard, the systems engineering community couldapply a single, common description of systems engineering processes tothe CMMI project.• EIA 731 includes both the SECM model (Part 1) and an appraisal method(Part 2).39The Integrated ProductDevelopment CMM• CMMI defines Integrated Product and ProcessDevelopment as a systematic approach to productdevelopment that achieves a timely collaboration ofrelevant stakeholders throughout the product life cycle tobetter satisfy customer needs.• The source model for Integrated Product and ProcessDevelopment (IPPD) was a draft of the IntegratedProduct Development CMM, known as IPD-CMM version0.98.– This model had been developed almost to the point of its initialformal release when the CMMI project began in 1998.4020
