Management
February 23, 2004, Alexandria, VA The U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Modernization Office (CBPMO) has attained a Level 2 rating for the Software
Engineering Institute’s Software Acquisition Capability Maturity Model
(SA-CMM®). This makes the CBPMO the first civilian government organization to
achieve such a rigorous rating for project management.
The Software Acquisition Capability Maturity Model is a management tool designed
to make software acquisition and management easier and more accountable by
creating a sound organizational structure for managing system acquisition
projects. It was developed in 1996 by representatives from the Department of
Defense, several civilian government agencies, and private industry under the
leadership of Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute.
Robbins-Gioia’s process improvement and quality assurance team has worked with
the CBPMO to develop and institutionalize policies, plans, processes, and
procedures to achieve process maturity for the past two years.
