This paper addresses two points of interest to the systems engineering community. First, systems engineering processes and principles are applied to a development that is both smaller in scope than the usual system and other than a hardware product. Second, the birth of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI sm1 ) (SEIc) and its associated assessment method, Standard CMMI Assessment Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI sm1 ) (CMMI Product Development Team, 2000), significantly raises the cost of assessing systems engineering process maturity. With application of systems engineering processes, both the performance and the cost impact of the CMMI assessments can and should be reduced.
