  abstract: 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).

These process areas are organized alphabetically by process area acronym to facilitate quick reference. Part Three pr…
