The document discusses CMMI's technology transition and partner network. It aims to broadly adopt CMMI services globally through partners selected in underserved regions. Many variables like economics and skills affect regional adoption, requiring tailored transition planning. CMMI has seen achievements in growing economies like China, India, and South Africa. Keys to success include clearly defining goals, senior management involvement, sharing lessons, change management, and improving cost and quality management.

4. Technology Transition
Technology transition is the
process of creating and maturing
a technology, introducing it to its
intended adopters, training and
certifying those adopters, and
facilitating the technology’s
acceptance and use
The transition goal of the CMMI
Institute is to have broad adoption
by our Partners who deliver CMMI
Institute services globally to the
critical mass

5. Partner Network
CMMI Partners…
•
•
•
•
are selected, trained, certified, and
licensed to deliver authentic CMMI
Institute services
are an extension of the CMMI Institute and
offer the same first-in-class services
have permission to use CMMI Institute
intellectual property
provide services in parts of the world that
are under-served and in languages that
may not be well represented
When an organization receives services from an
CMMI Institute Partner, it can be sure that the
quality of those services is comparable to the quality
it would get from the CMMI Institute
