The 9001:2000 Quality Management Standard from the International anization;
The Capability Maturity Model Integration from the Software Engineering Institute; and
Six Sigma, a methodology for improvement shaped panies such as Motorola,
Honeywell, and General Electric.
These recognized and proven quality programs are rising in popularity as more technology
managers are looking for ways to help remove degrees of risk and uncertainty from their business
equations, and to introduce methods of predictability that better ensure ess.
