Each toolkit contains (except Size estimation using paired comparisons):

· A windows Help file that explains how to use the spreadsheet

· A PowerPoint presentation that can be used to acquaint participants with:

· Interim Maturity Evaluations

· Capability Maturity Model (Integrated)

· Terminology used in the IME

· TPI and TPI evaluations

· People Capability Maturity Model

· The questionnaires that have to be filled in by the participants

 

The Size estimates using paired comparisons toolkit contains the Excel spreadsheet and the IEEE article explaining the paired comparisons technique
