Trillium Model

<p>The Trillium Model, created by a collaborative team from <a href="/facts/Bell_Canada/k3hgDpJA">Bell Canada</a>, Northern Telecom and Bell Northern Research (Northern Telecom and Bell Northern Research later merged into Nortel Networks) combines requirements from the <a href="/facts/ISO_9000/pdaweJBa">ISO 9000</a> series, the <a href="/facts/Capability_Maturity_Model/PxQXfSYJ">Capability Maturity Model</a> (CMM) for software, and the <a href="https://www.nist.gov/baldrige/publications/criteria.cfm">Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160804122911/http://nist.gov/baldrige/publications/criteria.cfm">Archived</a> 2016-08-04 at the <a href="/facts/Wayback_Machine/nmQ3a6JC">Wayback Machine</a>, with software quality standards from the <a href="/facts/IEEE/UddC4pUW">IEEE</a>. Trillium has a <a href="/facts/Telecommunication/vxoj1cxR">telecommunications</a> orientation and provides customer focus. The practices in the Trillium Model are derived from a <a href="/facts/Benchmarking/7HKqj6aL">benchmarking</a> exercise which focused on all practices that would contribute to an organization's product development and support capability.
The Trillium Model covers all aspects of the <a href="/facts/Software_development_process/cIDtuNPN">software development life-cycle</a>, most system and product development and support activities, and a significant number of related marketing activities. Many of the practices described in the model can be applied directly to hardware development.
