Thing found out en route to looking up other things (and can anyone tell me who I stole that tagline from?)

The first publication of a staged maturity model applied to IT was not by CMM/SEI, but rather Richard Nolan in "Managing the computer resource: a stage hypothesis," Communications of the ACM, Volume 16 ,  Issue 7  (July 1973), Pages: 399 - 405.

Fascinating - in that article, he references Karl Marx, Das Kapital, as well as John Maynard Keynes.

Just thought you might like to know.
