The origin of the CMM stages
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.
