McLEAN, VA, March 17, 2008 – QinetiQ North America’s Technology Solutions Group announced today that its Planning Systems Incorporated operation in Reston, VA achieved a Maturity Level 3 rating during a Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) appraisal completed in January.
Established by Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute, CMMI is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes. It can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a division, or an entire organization. CMMI helps integrate traditionally separate organizational functions, set process improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality processes, and provide a point of reference for appraising current processes.
“This is a great achievement for our company,” said PSI Division President Alan Friedman. “This appraisal demonstrates our commitment to process improvement and to providing our customers with the highest quality solutions for their system and software requirements.”
