SA-CMM v1.02 - The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has developed the Software Acquisition (SA)
Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for projects engaged in the acquisition of software-intensive systems. OSI
projects are encouraged to incorporate as many of the best practices benchmarks of the SA-CMM as appropriate.
SW-CMM v1.1 – For projects engaged in pure software development, the SEI has the Software Development
CMM (SW-CMM). OSI projects are encouraged to incorporate as many of these best practices benchmarks as appropriate
into their own internal projects as well as those performed on behalf of the OSI by a contractor. Refer also to
Links & Downloads (Industry) for other SEI references.
DOF IT Framework - The Department Of Finance (DOF) has created the Information Technology (IT) Project
Oversight Framework that establishes another benchmark for quality by which Independent Project Oversight Consultants
(IPOC) are to assess IT projects in California. OSI has also incorporated this framework into all of the applicable OSI
policies.
OSI Policies - The Office of Systems Integration (OSI) has institutionalized policies that establish the
specific benchmarks for quality that incorporates the SEI, DOF guidance, and OSI best practice into a series of OSI-
tailored guidelines. OSI utilizes these policy benchmarks as the overarching standard against which projects are
assessed.
