The SEI Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) in Small Settings
Project was formed in early 2005 to provide approaches,tools, techniques,
and guidance for those applying CMMI in a small setting.  For this
project, a small setting is defined as an organization or company of
fewer than approximately 100 people, and a project of fewer than
approximately 20 people.

The CMMI in Small Settings Web pages contain a description of this
project, a Call for Interest form, a link to toolkit elements used
in SEI pilots on adopting CMMI in small settings, and information
about the International Research Workshop for Process Improvement
in Small Settings.  For further information about the CMMI in Small
Settings Project, see
