Management of Software Projects in Industry:
CMMI vs RSPM

**************************************************************

The CMMI has been developed at CMU,
 under a DARPA project!

Major source: 

CMMI Product Team,
CMMI Version 1.1,
Carnegie-Mellon Software Engineering Institute, USA


The RSPM has been developed at the Rational Rose Corporation,
after a USAF experience!

****************************************************************

These two approaches compete 
for the next generation software management practices.

Many organizations still use the waterfall model,
which is not powerfull enough for issues like:

Commercial Component Integration
Software Reuse
Risk Management
Evolutionary Software Process
