WHAT IS CMMI? Capability Maturity Model - Integration


CMMI Appraisal Types .1

Continuous Pick and choose desirable process areas

Capability level 0-5

Capability level can be achieved without performing all practices

Not industry recognized

Primary appraisal method in India

1 – 3 weeks to perform appraisal


CMMI Appraisal Types .2

Staged Maturity level

Level 1-5 (everyone is level 1)

All practices must be met for achieving the maturity level

Rating is for 3 years and then expires

Rigorous review of processes and artifacts

2-4 weeks to perform appraisal


Specific versus Generic

Specific practices are process area dependent

(4 – 12 based on process area)

Generic practices are the same across all

process areas

(10-12 practices based on level)

All SP’s and GP’s require same level of artifact

coverage


CMMI Measures Process Maturity

25 Process Areas in 4 general categories:

Process management (5 process areas)

Project management (8 process areas)

Engineering design (6 process areas)

Support functions (6 process areas)

The measurement is the achievement of a limited number of Specific Goals in each process area, plus Generic Goals which apply to each process area.


Generic Practices Organizational policy

Plan the process

Provide resources

Assign Responsibility

Train the people

Manage configurations

Identify and involve relevant stakeholders

Monitor and control the process

Objectively evaluate adherence

Review status with higher level management

Establish a defined process

Collect improvement information


Direct versus Indirect Direct artifacts required for each SP and GP Artifact that is directly attributable to performing the

process described

Indirect artifact Supporting artifact or resultant artifact of creating the

direct artifact


Affirmations Verbal confirmation of what the

process definition

Interview process No helper aids

Must understand other functional groups role in the

organization

A valid answer is “I don’t know, but I know where to

find the answer…..Procedure XYZ”
