• not a single process

• based on best practices

The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI®) is a performance improvement framework developed by Carnegie Mellon University – Software Engineering Institute


Levels of CMMI

Initial 1 (Ad-hoc, heroes)

“Just Do It”

Managed2 (Basic Project Management)

“We recognize our problems and are correcting them”

Defined3 (Process

standardization)“We anticipate and prevent problems”

Quantitatively Managed4 (Quantitatively Managed)

“We see the sources of individual problems and eliminate them”

Optimizing5 (Continuous Improvement)

“We see common sources of problems and eliminate

them”

Disciplined process

Standard, consistent process

Predictable process

Continuously improving process

Specific Goals and Practices

Process Area: Technical Solution in CMM for Development

SG 1 Select Product Component SolutionsSP 1.1 Develop Alternative Solutions and Selection CriteriaSP 1.2 Select Product Component Solutions

SG 2 Develop the DesignSP 2.1 Design the Product or Product ComponentSP 2.2 Establish a Technical Data PackageSP 2.3 Design Interfaces Using CriteriaSP 2.4 Perform Make, Buy, or Reuse Analyses

SG 3 Implement the Product DesignSP 3.1 Implement the DesignSP 3.2 Develop Product Support Documentation


Generic Goals and Practices of CMMI GG1 Achieve Specific Goals

GP1 Perform Specific Practices GG 2 Institutionalize a managed process

GP 2.1 Establish an organizational policy GP 2.2 Plan the process. GP 2.3 Provide resources GP 2.4 Assign responsibility GP 2.5 Train people GP 2.6 Control work products GP 2.7 Identify and involve relevant stakeholders GP 2.8 Monitor and control the process GP 2.9 Objectively evaluate adherence

GP 2.10 Review status with higher level management

GG 3 Institutionalize a defined process GP 3.1 Establish a defined process GP 3.2 Collect process related experience

Defined

Managed

Performed


• Mature Organization

• Processes are defined and documented

• Roles and responsibilities are clear

• Management plans, monitors and communicates

• Product and process are measured

• Quality, cost and schedule are predictable

• Products meet user expectations

• Technology is used effectively within defined process

• Management is committed to continuous improvement

Mature Organization


Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI) is the official CMMI appraisal method

Appraisal helps to identify strengths and weaknesses of organizational processes

SCAMPI C is short and more flexible. It is used to provide a quick gap analysis between the organization's processes and CMMI practices.

SCAMPI B is more formal. It helps an organization understand its progress toward a target CMMI maturity level or capability profile.

SCAMPI A is the most rigorous method and the only one that can result in a rating.

CMMI Appraisal - SCAMPI


CMMI Published Appraisal results

Appraisal Results may be published at CMMI PARS page

Use Case: CMMI Appraisal at service and consulting company

Agenda


What type of work you incline to?

• Be a developer (programming, testing)

• Prefere to analyse requests with clients (functional designs)

• Perform applications and user support (incidents, root causes)

• No idea

Audience composition


Appraisal Goals defined by CMMI Sponsor – the organization lead

• Improve the quality in products and services provided to the customers and improve the standardization.

• Provide information that management can use to better predict effort, improve time to market and reduce the cost

• Obtain recommendations of practices that will ensure the continuous improvement process

• Include divisions in Bucharest and Prague? No, location Bratislava only

• Include Agile projects or not?

Use case: CMMI Appraisal – Goals


CMMI for Development & Agile ?


CMMI focuses on what program / project do

Agile focuses on how product is developed

CMMI provides engine that enable Agile techniques on large projects

Agile enhances CMMI method with specific software engeneering approach

CMMI provides methods for continuously improve organization

Agile includes practices for project team improvement

CMMI aimed typically for high cost failure (weaponry, aircraft) domains

Agile aimed typically for low cost failure (Internet, Games) domains

CMMI for Development & Agile - complement one to another


• Include Agile projects or not? Yes

Use case: CMMI Appraisal - Goals


Continuous Improvement

• Define organization processes standards

• Improve processes standards

• Manage projects using organization standards

• Check projects against these standards (Quality Reviews)

Appraisal preparation

• Prepare Process Improvement Identification Document (PIID)

• Map Scrum practices to CMMI for Development

• Collect documentation

Use case: CMMI preparation

Opportunitites for Improvements

[DEV] TS SP2.4 For all projects, not always product component is reused based onestablished criteria

[DEV] TS SP3.1 For some projects, there are not evidence regarding unit testDocumentation

[SVC] CAM SP2.1 For some projects, thresholds to monitor Capacity (e.g. resourceplanning) are not always defined

[SVC] MA SP2.1 Avoid the duplications of metric submission

Recommendations


Identify and Validate preliminary finding

• Present and validate potential findings to all participants

Use case: CMMI Appraisal - Validation

Basic Rules:

Non-attribution

No rating

No Maturity rating


Appraisal Team Agreement on rating

• The team has to agree on ratings based on rules or team judgment

• Generic and Specific practice rating – Fully, Largely, Partially, Not Implemented

• Process Area, General and Specific goal rating - Satisfied, Unsatisfied

• Present Maturity level
