Which of the following sentences is true about the CMMI for Acquisition (CMMI-ACQ)?

CMMI-ACQ is focused on the acquisition of products and services while CMMI for Development is focused on the development and maintenance of products and services
CMMI-ACQ addresses the administrative processes related to the purchase of products or services from suppliers.
CMMI-ACQ is focused on the acquisition and merging of new organizational unites or companies.
CMMI-ACQ and the CMMI for Development are the same model: the difference is that in CMMI-ACQ external suppliers are integrated into the development process.

TRUE: CMMI-ACQ is particularly suitable for organizations that intensively acquire products/service or outsource their development and maintenance
FALSE: CMMI models do not focus on administrative processes like purchasing, payments...
FALSE: The term “acquisition” is related to products and services and not to organizations
Actually they are two different models even if they share a common subset of process areas. For instance the CMMI-ACQ contains an “Acquisition” process area category but no “Engineering” category.
