CMMI-ACQ: Guidelines for Improving the Acquisition of Products and Services

CMMI-ACQ^® (Capability Maturity Model^® Integration for Acquisition) describes best practices for the successful acquisition of products and services. Providing a practical framework for improving acquisition processes, CMMI-ACQ addresses the growing trend in business and government for organizations to purchase or outsource required products and services as an alternative to in-house development or resource allocation.

Modeled after CMMI^®, Second Edition, which documented CMMI for Development, this book is the definitive reference for the current release of CMMI for Acquisition (version 1.2). In addition to the entire CMMI-ACQ model, the book includes tips, hints, cross-references, and other author notes to help you understand, apply, and find more information about the content of the acquisition process areas. The authors also have added two chapters to illustrate the application of CMMI-ACQ in industry (a case study from General Motors) and government. Whether you are new to CMMI models or are already familiar with one or more of them, you will find this book an essential resource for managing your acquisition processes and improving your overall performance.

The book is divided into three parts.

Part One introduces CMMI-ACQ in the broad context of CMMI models, including essential concepts and useful background. It then describes and shows the relationships among all the components of the CMMI-ACQ process areas, and explains paths to the adoption and use of the model for process improvement and benchmarking. Finally, two separate chapters describe special acquisition needs in a government environment and real experiences with CMMI-ACQ from industry.

Part Two first describes generic goals and generic practices, and then, in twenty-two sections, details each of the CMMI-ACQ process areas, including specific goals, specific practices, and examples. These process areas are organized alphabetically by process area acronym to facilitate quick reference.

Part Three provides several useful references, including sources for further information about CMMI and CMMI-ACQ, acronym definitions, a glossary of terms, and an index.

CMMI-ACQ®（Acquisition的能力成熟度模型整合）描述了成功獲得產品和服務的最佳實踐。CMMI-ACQ提供了一個實用的框架，用於改進獲得過程，以應對企業和政府中購買或外包所需產品和服務的日益增長的趨勢，作為內部開發或資源分配的替代方案。

該書以《CMMI®，第二版》為藍本，該書記錄了CMMI的開發，是當前CMMI for Acquisition（版本1.2）的權威參考資料。除了整個CMMI-ACQ模型外，該書還包括提示、提示、交叉引用和其他作者註釋，以幫助您理解、應用和尋找有關獲得過程領域內容的更多信息。作者還增加了兩章，以說明CMMI-ACQ在工業（通用汽車的案例研究）和政府中的應用。無論您是對CMMI模型還是對其中一個或多個模型已經熟悉，您都會發現本書是管理獲得過程和提高整體性能的重要資源。

該書分為三個部分。

第一部分在CMMI模型的廣泛背景下介紹了CMMI-ACQ，包括基本概念和有用的背景。然後描述並展示了CMMI-ACQ過程領域的所有組件之間的關係，並解釋了採用和使用模型進行過程改進和基準的途徑。最後，兩個獨立的章節描述了政府環境中的特殊獲得需求以及來自工業界對CMMI-ACQ的實際經驗。

第二部分首先描述了通用目標和通用實踐，然後在22個部分中詳細介紹了每個CMMI-ACQ過程領域，包括具體目標、具體實踐和示例。這些過程領域按照過程領域縮寫的字母順序進行組織，以便快速查找。

第三部分提供了幾個有用的參考資料，包括有關CMMI和CMMI-ACQ的進一步信息來源、縮寫定義、術語詞彙表和索引。
