CMMI for Acquisition (CMMI-ACQ) is a CMMI   model designed for use in managing a supply chain by those who acquire,   procure, or otherwise select and purchase products and services for business   purposes.

This   CMMI model focuses on acquirer processes and contains best practices that   address activities for initiating and managing the acquisition of products   and services that meet the needs of the customer. Types of acquisitions that   benefit from using CMMI-ACQ include government acquisition, supply chain   management, procurement, and outsourcing.

The   course is composed of lectures and class exercises with ample opportunity for   student questions and discussions. After attending the course, students will   be able to describe the CMMI-ACQ model, discuss the model's process areas,   and locate relevant information in the model.
