3. Slide 3 of 146 CMMI Components Within each of the 5 Maturity Levels, there are basic functions that need to be performed – these are called Process Areas (PAs). For Maturity Level 2 there are 7 Process Areas that must be completely satisfied. For Maturity Level 3 there are 11 Process Areas that must be completely satisfied. Given the interactions and overlap, it becomes more efficient to work the Maturity Level 2 and 3 issues concurrently. Within each PA there are Goals to be achieved and within each Goal there are Practices, work products, etc. to be followed that will support each of the Goals.

9. 10/16/2015Bahill9 Generic Goals (GG) Achievement of a generic goal in a process area signifies improved control in planning and implementing the processes associated with that process area. – Generic goals are called “generic” because the same goal statement appears in multiple process areas. – Each process area has only one generic goal at each level.

10. 10/16/2015Bahill10 Level 2 generic goal The generic goal for all maturity level 2 process areas is: GG 2: The xxx process is institutionalized as a managed process. A managed process is a performed process that is planned and executed in accordance with policy; employs skilled people having adequate resources to produce controlled outputs; involves relevant stakeholders; is monitored, controlled, and reviewed; and is evaluated for adherence to its process description.

11. 10/16/2015Bahill11 Generic Practices (GP) Generic practices are activities that ensure that the processes associated with the process area will be effective, repeatable, and lasting. Generic practices contribute to the achievement of the generic goal when applied to a particular process area.

12. 10/16/2015Bahill12 Generic Practices Under GG 2 1 Generic practices for all maturity level 2 process areas: GP 2.1: Establish an Organizational Policy Establish and maintain an organizational policy for planning and performing the xxx process. GP 2.2: Plan the Process Establish and maintain the plan for performing the xxx process.

13. 10/16/2015Bahill13 Generic Practices Under GG 2 2 GP 2.3: Provide Resources Provide adequate resources for performing the xxx process, developing the work products, and providing the services of the process. GP 2.4: Assign Responsibility Assign responsibility and authority for performing the process, developing the work products, and providing the services of the xxx process. GP 2.5: Train People Train the people performing or supporting the xxx process as needed.

14. 10/16/2015Bahill14 Generic Practices Under GG 2 3 GP 2.6: Manage Configurations Place designated work products of the xxx process under appropriate levels of configuration management. GP 2.7: Identify and Involve Relevant Stakeholders Identify and involve the relevant stakeholders of the xxx process as planned. GP 2.8: Monitor and Control the Process Monitor and control the xxx process against the plan for performing the process and take appropriate corrective action.

15. 10/16/2015Bahill15 Generic Practices Under GG 2 5 GP 2.9: Objectively Evaluate Adherence Objectively evaluate adherence of the xxx process against its process description, standards, and procedures, and address non-compliance. GP 2.10: Review Status with Higher Level Management Review the activities, status, and results of the xxx process with higher level management and resolve issues.
