Software Maintenance Maturity Model (S3M) (Part 1)
The software maintenance function suffers from a scarcity of management models to facilitate its evaluation, management, and continuous improvement. This 2-day tutorial will present the Software Maintenance Maturity Model (S3M) as a solution that addresses the assessment and improvement of the software maintenance function. The S3M addresses the unique activities of software maintenance while preserving a structure similar to that of the CMMI© maturity model. Participants in the tutorial will be introduced to the software maintenance, the model's purpose, scope, foundation, and architecture, followed by detailed practices for maturity level 0, 1, and 2. The participants will be introduced to the assessment process and shown examples of use of the maturity model.		 Michael Bolton
