Process improvement by IT standards can help

managers: • Meet their deadlines with processes that function correctly the first time. • Prevent last minute pinches• Decrease over budget projects, customer complaints, and rework due to quality failures.

“The quality of software, human resources, project management and many other areas of IT can be improved by applying regulations and standards.” (Source: Hartmann, 2006 )

Structure of ITIL

ITIL is an integrated set of best practice recommendations with common definitions and terminology used to assist organizations in developing a quality framework which is divided into a series of books, sometimes referred to as sets.

The structure of ITIL is represented in the following diagram showing each of the ITIL books:(source from (Lloyd, et al, 2002) http://www.tso.co.uk/pism/app/frames.htm )

The core of ITIL

Service Management’s primary objective is to ensure the IT services and business needs are aligned.

Service Support and Service Delivery are the two sections of Service Management.

ITIL recognized as the De facto standard by the mid-1990’s. A common language is used between business personnel and the IT staff. This provides a communication link that does not exist at every organization. A road block can occur when the business personnel and the IT staff believe the other speaks a different language. ITIL provides terms that can help the divisions of the business communicate effectively.

itSMF (IT Service Management Forum) formed in 1991 has chapters in many countries. itSMF develops and promotes best practices in service management. It is a major influence on and contributor to standards. Members of the forum are able to communicate with peers to discuss issues, exchange ideas, and obtain information.

Benefits of ITIL

Cost savings are a big benefit of ITIL. “Gartner measurements show that the overall results of moving from no ad

option of IT Service Management to full adoption can reduce an organization’s Total Cost of Ownership by as much as 48%.”

“Procter and Gamble publicly attributes nearly $125 million in IT cost savings per year to the adoption of ITIL, constituting nearly 10% of their annual IT budget”, thus improve ROI of IT. ( ITIL Survival, 2006)

ITIL improves efficiency and extends business by improving process flow thus enhancing a company’s competitive capability.

“Shell Oil utilized ITIL best practices when they overhauled their global desktop PC consolidation project, encompassing 80,000 desktops. After this project was completed, they can now do software upgrades in less than 72 hours, potentially saving 6000 man-days working days and 5 million dollars.” (ITIL Survival, 2006)

Benefits of ITIL

ITIL can improve internal and external customer satisfaction with the services and products provided by the company.

 

ITIL makes regulations consistent by establishing controllable standards that are customized to the company’s operations.

 

The coordinating function of ITIL plays a vital role for a company

For example, suppliers, customers, and internal staff are brought together using the common terminology of ITIL enabling the company to meet their business goals. At the same time stakeholders including customers, users, and outsourcers can be integrated into the company’s value chain by ITIL.

Drawbacks of ITIL

ITIL does not detail how to implement the best practices. It simply states what businesses should do and leaves them to design their own processes based on the best practice principles.

“`You don’t implement ITIL,’ says Johnson, the member of the original ITIL team. ‘You use it to help create organizational change.’” (Worthen, 2005)

 

Change is hard for many employees.

Basically, employees fall into habits and when the process or procedure changes employees may not follow through. Some employees cannot adapt to the new processes and turnover may rise. (Worthen, 2005)

 

ITIL can become a long project. Interest and momentum may slow down as time goes by.

Backgrounds

HP’s CIO & employees:In HP, there are more than 150,000 employees and 69,000 professionals. CIO should report to the CEO directly according to the following words.

HP case study

“…….if you think back to what I said we started with in 1999, I mean, we didn't even have a company CIO in 1999 - we had 87 of them. Yes, it has changed. It has become a more important job. It has become a direct reporting job. Three years ago, it wasn't a direct reporting job, even though we had a single CIO for the company. It's as critical a part of our business success and how we operate the business as a CFO, a business head, or anyone else. And that absolutely is different over the last several years.” Former CEO: Carly Fiorina: (HP, 2003, A conversation, http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/execteam/speeches/fiorina/forbes04.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN )

Benefits from OpenView Service Desk. According to the IDC report the surveyed companies with employee ranges

of 28 to 140,000 reported the following results after deploying HP OpenView

Service Desk.  The survey asked questions about cost and processes before

and after using the HP software.  (Source:  IDC, 2004)

        “IT productivity increased by an average 14%.

        The average cost savings over three years of almost $4.2 million annually. When normalized for company size, these savings amounted to $17,235 per use.(see the following figure)

        An average of 75.5% less staff time to identify and fix problem.

        An average 20% reduction in the staff time for service level management and a 20.8% reduction for managing the internet/transactional customer experience.

        Reducing IT staff by an average of 7.5% over three years.

• Comments on ITSM reference:The HP ITSM reference model is based on the premise that IT should be run “like a business” rather than merely running IT “within a business”. For this reason, the HP model includes processes to ensure IT-business alignment. The model combines the best experience offerings of both ITIL and industry experience.

Conclusions from HP case study:

• ITIL does not give instructions for application, it only gives guidance through best practices.

• ITIL is a long time process, but setting small achievable goals will help keep interest at a high level.

• ITIL aligns IT with business and runs IT as a business thus cater for CEO’s needs.

• ITIL should take more time to train the employees and develop change management.

• ITIL is a best tool for CIO to use to meet the goals of the organization

CMM is

• A structured approach to process improvement. “A process model is a structured collection of practices that describes the characteristics of effectiv

e processes; the practices included are those proven by experience to be effective.” (Carnegie, 200

6, slide 10).

• Guidance for what organizations should do to improve processes. CMM is not only for large organizations. Small organizations can benefit from the model also. T

he use of CMM by small organizations has increased 54% from 1999 to 2003 according to the SEI. (Guerrero & Eterovic, 2004) (Wall et al, 2005).

• CMM was originally developed for the area of software development and is now being used as a model of maturity processes for many different areas of a business. (Carnegie, 2006).

Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is used for many disciplines by integrating many different models. Created by members of industry, government, and SEI; CMMI includes the process of CMM and “takes into consideration other key factors critical to the development of quality software, such as standards for measuring risk and selecting vendors.” (King, Sidebar, 2003).

Timeline adapted from (Wikipedia, CMM, 2006, pp. 4) (King, Sidebar, 2003) (Gainer, 1998) (Kock, 2004).

CMM Maturity Levels

CMM has a hierarchy of five levels referred to as maturity levels. There are Key Process Areas (KPAs) within each level of maturity. The organization is rated based on the KPAs. Mastering the key process area of each level enables the organization to move up among the levels. Each level of KPAs requires the definition of processes, recording of results, and evidence of achieving that KPA. (Dangle, et al, 2005).

“Predictability, effectiveness, and control of an organization’s software processes are believed to improve as the organization moves up these five levels. While not rigorous, the empirical evidence to date supports this belief.” according to the SEI.

The following chart details each level by key process areas the organization must achieve to reach the level, characteristics of the level, and estimated time to move from one maturity level to the next.

1994

It is interesting to look at the differences in the maturity profiles from 1994 to 2006. The number of participating organizations has increased significantly from the 1994 to the 2006 report by 1,648 organizations. The number of projects has also increased significantly by 8,212 projects involved in the profile.

A maturity profile shows how an improvement process such as CMM(since 1994) or CMMI(in 2003) is “being adopted worldwide based on appraisal results reported by SEI-authorized Lead Appraisers.” (SEI, FAQ, pp. 2).

• CMM can save money.

Promised Benefits of CMM

The chart shows the five CMM levels along with the related hypothetical costs along the side. Level 1 has quality costs around 60% while level five’s costs are around 20%. The cost of quality should go down as the company matures toward level 5. (Eickelmann, 2004)

Source from:Eickelmann, 2004, http://www.umsl.edu:2263/iel5/52/29063/01309639.pdf?isnumber=29063&prod=JNL&arnumber=1309639&arSt=+12&ared=+13&arAuthor=Eickelmann%2C+N. .

• CMM can be combined with other models such as the ISO 9001 standard, ITIL, Six Sigma, and various others.

• Improves software product quality and the predictability of quality in future products. (Gainer, 1998)

Page 54: 1 Standards Affecting IT — ITIL and CMM Aimee Labounty Ziyong Li Yunlin Lu

54

• Helps organizations catch defects before they are too far along. Saves money as rework is less expensive and less time consuming the earlier it is caught. (Smith, 1998)

• Improves cost and productivity levels (Paulk, et al, 1993)• Improves cycle time (time to market or time to release software), on time delivery,

accuracy of estimations, and the morale of the staff (Eickelmann, 2003)• Allows organization to assess processes and see where improvements can be made

(Wall et al, 2005) (Smith, 1998)• Allows organizations to measure the capability of software subcontractors to provi

de products with acceptable functionality, on time, and within budget.• Based on small steps instead of large leaps with many changes all at once. (Wall e

t al, 2005)• Allows many countries to compete in the world market on even ground. (Wikipedi

a, CMM, 2006)• Enables organizations to develop repeatable processes that can be reused. The poi

nt of processes is “Basically, so we don’t reinvent the wheel.” (Dewar, n.d.)

Limitations of CMM & Appraisals

Accuracy of CMM levels

•The SEI does not report information on organizations’ appraisals without their permission nor do they have information on every organization using CMM. Therefore, the results of the available information are based on companies that volunteer their CMM information to be published. This may not give a completely accurate picture of organizations using CMM.

•Organizations assessed at a level 3 may fall back to a level 1, but one may never know this. The SEI is not responsible for ensuring organizations are compliant. (Wikipedia, 2006).

•May be based on organization’s self assessment. Not all organizations are honest.

•Level achieved may apply to one project and not entire organization

•SEI does not release information about organization’s assessment level nor will they verify it

56

Focus of organization

• CMM may cause the organization to focus on “perfectly completed forms rather than application development, client needs or the marketplace.” (Wikipedia, CMM, 2006, pp. 11).

• The process and forms of CMM may cause the business to put the project deadline before the importance of quality and functionality.

Organization may place process over substance (Wikipedia, CMM, 2006)

Limitations of CMM & Appraisals

57

Different levels of companies

Having standardized processes can help keep costs down, but there may not be much of an advantage for a company at a CMM level 2 to hire a software company at a CMM level 5. The client company “doesn’t have the internal discipline to take advantage of the Level 5 provider’s standardized routines.” They will pay a higher price and not be able to take advantage of all the provider can offer them. “It’s like being a car salesman in Alaska touting a car’s great air conditioning. It may be great, but you can’t take advantage of it,” says Bill Peterson, program director for software engineering process management at the SEI. (King, Pros & Cons, 2003).

 Initial funds

  It may be hard for small companies to obtain a CMM level assessment due to costs. “The expense of building a really robust, repeatable software development process with project and metric tracking is many times the cost of a CMM assessment (which alone costs about $100,000). (Koch, 2004).

58

Dishonest appraisers

  Appraisers may sell their assessment rating to the company they are appraising. There is not an easy way to determine this is happening. (Koch, 2004)

Internal appraisers

Businesses can appraise themselves by using an inside appraiser. The inside appraiser will have more riding on the decision and be under more pressure to assess the company at a higher level than an outside one. Asking the questions below will aid in determining how honest the company is about their rating and whether or not to use the company. (Koch, 2004).

Limitations of CMM & Appraisals

Page 59: 1 Standards Affecting IT — ITIL and CMM Aimee Labounty Ziyong Li Yunlin Lu

59

CIOs can ask questions to help determine if the company is exaggerating their CMM rating or if they are truly using the model as intended, for continuous improvement. Among the questions are :

 • Who was the appraiser and how many assessments of this level has he/she completed?  • What part of the company was tested? Only one segment may have been assessed and the company is claiming t

heir maturity level for the whole company. • How long ago was the assessment completed? If the assessment was years ago it is of little use as things change

rapidly. • Where is the evidence of continuous improvement? Make the company provide documentation detailing its imp

rovement history such as improvements in customer delivery time, defects, and productivity.  • Was the appraiser from inside or outside of the company? Inside appraiser will not be as objective to those from

the outside. • Where are the reports? The assessor will provide documentation to the company such as the Final Findings Rep

ort which discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the company. (Koch, 2004).

The processes of developing RES• Raytheon Electronics Systems (RES), a division of Raytheon Company focuses on commercial

and defense electronics; such as air traffic control, vessel traffic management and transportation systems, digital communications systems, ground-based and shipboard radar systems, satellite communications systems, undersea warfare systems, command control systems, and combat training systems. RES also has missile product lines including the PATRIOT missile deployed in the Gulf War. (Haley, 1995).

• Software Systems Laboratory (SSL) & Software Engineering Laboratory (SEL).

• SEL began the software process development by following the Capability Maturity Model which left them sitting at a Level 1 in 1987

Raythoen Electonics Systems (RES)

Page 65: 1 Standards Affecting IT — ITIL and CMM Aimee Labounty Ziyong Li Yunlin Lu

65

The processes of developing RES• In 1988 they officially started what they called the Software Engineering Initiative based

partly on CMM.

Raytheon spends around $1 million per year on this. Raytheon chose CMM because “it made sense and customers supported this approach.” They feel the most important effect of the software process development is the predictability of the process, which in turn leads to project completion within acceptable delivery times and at acceptable operation levels. (Haley, 1995).

• Support and commitment were important to the success of the improvement process.

• SEL addressed cultural issues and made a part of the line managers job to spend time on process improvement."  (Source: Haley 1995 )

• SEL used peer-review inspections to find defect early and avoid more expensive rework at later stages during defining requirements of the software process .

• SEL’s approach was implemented as an automated system to track project details such as manpower, defects, root cause analysis, and feedback to help future projects

These areas are necessarily assessed when Raytheon measure the impact of the Software Engineering Initiative:

Raythoen Electonics Systems (RES)

•Cost of quality – the cost incurred because it was not done right the first time. Two years prior to the Initiative rework costs averaged about 41% of project costs. In the next two years this had dropped to 20%. The initial assessment was based on six projects because these projects were using 80-90% of the software engineers. •Software productivity – data was collected from 24 individual projects and productivity was calculated by using staff size as the weighing function. Software development productivity increased by a factor of 170% from 1988 to 1994. •Cost performance index – data was collected on the budgeted cost and the actual cost of the project. Prior to the start of the initiative project ran over about 40% compared to the +/- 3% range in 1991 and through 1995. CAC/Budget% is the Completion Actual Cost. The line represents the percentage over or under the budgeted cost. 

From: Haley, 1995, http://www.sei.cmu.edu/pub/documents/95.reports/pdf/tr017.95.pdf

Page 68: 1 Standards Affecting IT — ITIL and CMM Aimee Labounty Ziyong Li Yunlin Lu

68

• Overall product quality – Defect density in the final product is used to assess overall product quality. This is measured by the “number of software trouble reports (STRs) per thousand lines of delivered source code (STRs/KDSI) on an individual project basis.” The data collected shows an initial average of 17.2 STRs/KDSI compared to the improved level of 4.0 STRs/KDSI.

From: Haley, 1995, http://www.sei.cmu.edu/pub/documents/95.reports/pdf/tr017.95.pdf • Benefit to other organizations – training materials are shared with other division and with Raytheon custo

mers, including the Air Force Electronic Systems Center’s PRISM program and the FAA. They have shared their experience with “the software community and SEI affiliates in a number of forums, including advisory boards, workshops, briefings, and correspondence groups. (Source: Haley, 1995)

• Benefits to personnel – Raytheon hopes that less tangible benefits are also realized in the area of personnel, such as job satisfaction and career enhancement.

Over the course of the CMM improvement process in Raythoen

        “rework involved in building software has undergone a reduction of about 40% of the development cost to about 10%,

        productivity of the development staff has increased by a factor of almost 170%

        predictability of their development budget and schedule have been reduced to a range of +/- 3% from 40% overrun

        CMM level 3 was reached in 1991         CMM level 4 was reached in 1995         Raytheon is working towards reaching level 5”(Haley, 1995).

Raytheon credits their success to: • The software manager committed more than just funding, the manager was “the focal

point and actively drove the effort.”

• General managers become active sponsors by committing funding and requiring all business areas to adhere to the process

• “Process improvements clearly and continually demonstrated business benefits to projects”

• The corporate culture of Raytheon was taken into consideration as part of the process improvement

• The initiative was run through the ranks of the organization. Line engineers and task managers did the majority of the work and thus felt a sense of ownership. They did not feel as if this was forced upon them, because they were a part of it.

• Raytheon realizes their Software Engineering Initiative will continue to grow and change as the software industry changes. (Haley, 1995).

Raytheon Network Centric Systems(NCS), McKinney, Texas

• Network Centric Systems (NCS) is another example to identify that Raytheon Company did not stop with the SEL process improvement.They have since been assessed at many divisions at various CMM levels.

• Network Centric Systems (NCS) develops and produces mission solutions for networking, command and control, battlespace awareness, and air traffic management.

• NCS began working on CMM process improvement in 1989. The company achieved level 2 in 1992, level 3 in 1994, and level 4 in 2001. NCS was the first division of Raytheon and the fifth organization in the world to be assessed at CMMI level 5 in 2003.

• NCS uses CMMI to characterize the organizational performance in terms of goals and opportunities of improvement. Change management was an important factor in achieving level 5. Continuous improvement is a characteristic of level 5. (Freed, 2004) (Gibson, 2006)

• Cost performance index (CPI) and schedule performance index (SPI) are two main measures for NCS to measure cost and schedule objectives. Measurable results between June 2001 at CMM level 4 and September 2003 at CMMI Level 5.

Improved CPI (cost) by 5%

Improved SPI (schedule) by 8%

Defect density improved 44% Achieved an overall ROI of 3:1 from organization improvements reducing costs (Freed, 200

Best Practices • Management Commitment and Guidance --Management must be behind CMM for it to truly be successful. --Raytheon management supports the CMM process improvement.• Training --Employees should be fully trained not only on the processes they are responsible fo

r, but they should be aware of all of the processes used by others also. --Working groups were developed at Raytheon including a training working group.• Employee involvement --The employees involved in the processes should be involved in the improvement pla

n. --Raytheon employees were very involved in the improvement process. • Communication --Feedback is important. --Communication of the change and using CMM is very important --Raytheon managers were kept informed of the improvement process developments,

especially those that directly affected their areas. This reinforced support and commitment.

73

• Little steps, not giant leaps Little steps, not giant leaps --Take the process improvement one step at a time. (Hardgave, 2004) (Dangle, et al, 2

005). --Raytheon started on the CMM improvement process in 1987. They did not reach l

evel 4 until eight years later in 1995. The project was broken into stages and processes were developed for each level’s success.

• Measurements --Measures of quality, estimated delivery dates, estimated costs, customer satisfactio

n and such should be taken at the beginning to allow comparisons as the organization moves among the levels. (Guerrero, & Eterovic, 2004) (Hardgrave, 2004).

--Raytheon used several different measurements to show their progress such as rework reduction, productivity levels, predictability of budget and schedule, and ROI.

• Be aware of the organization’s culture --The culture of the organization is very important as it can affect compliance of C

MM. ( Guerrero, & Eterovic, 2004) (Ngwenyama & Nielse, 2003). --Raytheon was aware of their culture.

Conclusions

1. Standards and regulations can bring many benefits to users. They should be customized by the adapter and follower to bring profits, if not; the adapter may pay high costs. (Dangle, et al, 2005) (Hardgrave, 2005)

• 2. ITIL is a set of best practices applied to business processes. CMM is a maturity model used to improve processes. “CMM focuses more on what an organization should implement to mature, while ITIL focuses more on the how of IT service processes.” (Clerc & Niessink, 2004).

• 3. ITIL and CMM compliment each other throughout the ITIL processes and CMM key process areas. The two structures can be used together to focus on IT service management. (Clerc & Niessink, 2004)

• 4. Each standard and regulations should be taken as its intrinsic rule except for its similarities. For example(see figure)

Source from: http://www3.ca.com/Files/Presentations/impact_of_itil_pres.pdf

Page 75: 1 Standards Affecting IT — ITIL and CMM Aimee Labounty Ziyong Li Yunlin Lu

75

• 5.The CIO should ensure all IT activities focus on customer service and IT service quality no matter what standards are in place.

• “Software process improvement is a journey, not a destination.” (Hardgrave, 2005). Continuous improvement is necessary. Learning from their own mistakes will make a company stronger. Each issue that comes along is a chance for an organization to reflect, learn, and improve.

Voice from:French Caldwell, vice president in Gartner Research, where he focuses on the k

nowledge management practice. His research includes analysis of knowledge management services and technologies, user strategies and performance support, public technology policy and government strategies.
