2. The What of CMMI for Development
CMMI for Development is a reference model that covers the development and maintenance activities applied to both products and services.
A framework describing key elements of effective process … a guide to evolve from ad-hoc, immature practices to mature, disciplined process
A collection of good practices (project/process management, engineering, support) to achieve business goals relating to Cost, Schedule, Functionality, Product/Service quality
A reference to improve your business processes
CMMI best practices state WHAT to do, but neither WHO should do it, or HOW it is to be done

4. CMMI Representation Options
Staged
Organization Maturity Level approach
Process Areas clustered by maturity level
Known and defined path for process improvement
Organization chooses target Maturity Level
Maturity Level provided as option in SCAMPI
Continuous
Process Capability approach for organization
Process Areas organized by process threads
Cluster of process area for improvement chosen by org
Organization chooses target Capability Levels in chosen PAs
Capability profile by PA provided in SCAMPI (Equivalent Staging possible, if opted for – here, it becomes similar to Staged !)

5. Approach for CMMI Become Familiar With CMMI-Dev##
Understand Content and Scope
Interpret Model for Your Organization
Select Representation
Staged
Continuous
Perform SCAMPI C / Gap Analysis w.r.t CMMI (Mapping of Existing Processes to CMMI)
Develop and Implement Transition Plan
Extend PI Infrastructure to address CMMI needs
Leverage investment in any legacy model (ISO/CMM)
## two other constellations, namely, CMMI-SVC & CMMI-ACQ also available

6. About SCAMPI family
SEI acknowledged methods for progressive appraisals with varying depth -
Approach (C)  Deployment (B)  Institutionalization (A)
Any SCAMPI (A/B/C) Appraisal includes:
ATM Training (in C, if team is used)
SEI Authorized ‘Intro to CMMI’ training for ATMs
Preparation & Planning
Onsite Appraisal
Report generation & Registering with SEI
SCAMPI A to be lead by SEI Authorized Lead Appraiser
SCAMPI B/C to be lead by SEI Authorized Team Lead
SCAMPI Appraisal Result valid for 3 years

7. Plan For CMMI Implementation
CMMi overview training
Gap Analysis / SCAMPI C
Roadmap & Action Plan
PA Training
Consulting
Official “Intro to CMMi Training”
Pre-Appraisal / SCAMPI B
Final Appraisal: SCAMPI A

8. Timeline to move between Levels
Data indicate variability in the time needed to move between Maturity Levels
However, appraisal results indicate some average values -
Maturity Levels
Average timeline
Level 1 to 2
5 months
Level 2 to 3
19 months
Level 3 to 4
25 months
Level 3 to 5
23 months

9. Challenges and Risks in Transition
As the Senior Manager, expect the following barriers and help the organization overcome them -
Resistance to any form of Change
‘Please Excuse Me, I’m busy’
Process improvement would happen, but my delivery is more important
The ‘Quality group’ is marginalized – anyway they are there to make quality happen
Consider some risks in transition -
Management commitment !
Trap of ‘best’ implementation – they succeeded this way syndrome
Pace of organizational change – neither too fast nor too slow
Open to accept mistakes and rectify
