CMM in practice

I found the book written by Pankaj Jalote quite useful. We are in the process of implenting process to meet up to the requirments of level 4.

In my openion the "Guidelines for improving the software process" written by Carnegie Mellon university (SEI) is a good book to be referenced as a CMM standard and the "CMM in practice" is a good reference book to know how the KPA's can be interpreted and implemented in an organisation from a practical standpoint.

Due to the almost inexistant (affordable) professional training available in the subject of CMM, books such as this goes a long way in filling that gap. However, i would say that this book throws light till level 4 only. If you are looking at guidance to implement level 5 KPA's this is not the book.

The examples given are quite clear and helps understand the requirements of CMM better.
