JFR Consulting2 Speaker zJohn Ryskowski zof JFR Consulting z

JFR Consulting3 Purpose zTo gain some understanding of: yProcess Models, their history, assumptions yWhat’s in the CMMI and why yProject management across maturity levels yIn summary

JFR Consulting4 Why Focus on Process? zThe process management premise: yThe quality of a system is highly influenced by the quality of the process used to acquire, develop, and maintain it. zThis premise implies focus on processes as well as on product. yThis is a long-established practice in manufacturing. yBelief in this premise is visible worldwide in quality movements in manufacturing and service industries, e.g., ISO standards.

JFR Consulting5 A Little History SW-CMM V1.1 SW-CMM V2.0 Draft CMMIEIA 731 (SE) IPD CMM Why am I being pulled? Pulled, I was never used! I’m big, I’m beautiful, and you can’t hide! I could have been a contender if I had maturity levels. What?

JFR Consulting6 CMMI Parts zMaturity levels (or cultural state) yProcess Areas (PA) (or topics) xGoals (or general activities) Practices (or detailed activities)

JFR Consulting7 The CMMI

JFR Consulting8 Maturity Levels zThe maturity level of an organization provides a way to predict the future performance of that organization within a discipline or set of disciplines.

JFR Consulting9 Quick quiz 1) What is the first level where data from one project is easily available to other projects in the organization? 2) At what level are individual projects managed with little detailed organizational influence? 3) At what level are boundaries applied to project metrics measures as an indicator to take action? 4) At what level is the transition to new technologies routine? 5) What level relies heavily on the heroics of individuals for project success? Level 1 (Initial) Level 2 (Repeatable) Level 3 (Defined) Level 4 (Managed) Level 5 (Optimizing)

JFR Consulting17 A model is an abstraction… zThe CMMI ycaptures industry/common sense best practices, yand documents them at the appropriate level of abstraction yso that there exist many ways to meet the model practices

JFR Consulting18 In Summary zThe CMMI brings yProject visibility yProject predictability
