Abstract :
Many organizations in the software industry have adopted the Software Engineering Institute´s Capability Maturity Model (CMM). However, only recently have enough organizations reached Level 5 to enable a coherent discussion of Level 5 issues. To facilitate such a discussion, the editors of Quality Time solicited questions about what it means to be a Level 5 organization from academic, industry, and government representatives.
