The overall purpose of SUITE is to bring the Michigan Department of Information Technology (MDIT) systems development areas up to CMMI Level 3, which ensures consistent process usage throughout the organization.  This includes using the same Project Management Methodology (PMM), Systems Engineering Methodology (SEM), Process Management, and Supporting Processes across all systems development areas within MDIT.

The overall goal of SUITE is to integrate Project Management, Systems Engineering, Process Management, and Supporting Processes into a single unified environment.

There are several high-level diagrams available, located in the next column, to help understand the SUITE Environment. These diagrams are context sensitive, meaning that you can point to a particular part of the diagram, and it will bring up another diagram, document, or template.
