The essay is a continuation of my essay titled "Traceability: A Radical Approach Based on User Involvement".   Part three discusses the nine components of customer involvement which will be assessed in the model.  I am catching up to cleaning up the blog and posting the essay, I had a problem with my email system that required my full attention.

CMMI can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a division, or an entire organization. It 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.
