CMMI®- (Staged Representation)

How Long Does Change Take?
  •   For the SW-CMM (1992 to present)*
    • ML1 to ML2:  22 months
    • ML2 to ML3:  21 months
    • ML3 to ML4:  25 months
    • ML4 to ML5:  13 months

  •   The recommended interval between assessments is 18 to 30 months (average 24.)


  •   One should not infer that this is how long these changes should take.

SCAMPI and CBA IPI
  • REFERENCE MODEL:
    • SCAMPI was designed with CMMI as the reference model
    • But it doesn’t matter what the reference model is
      • SCAMPI can be applied to CMMI, SW-CMM, PCMM, and others
  • RIGOR:
    • SCAMPI is “designed to provide benchmark quality ratings”
    • I would add: “to reduce variance in performance”
  • EXECUTION CLASSES:
    • ARC permits three classes of appraisals: A, B, and C
    • SCAMPI is only Class A
  • PHASES:
    • Basically the same for both
    • More detail provided in SCAMPI MDD

ISSUE #1
  • Model coverage
    • SCAMPISM Class A requires at least 1 direct + 1 indirect artifact/affirmation
    • Projects must furnish Practice Implementation Indicators (PIIs) for each CMMI® specific/generic practice within scope
    • Example: CMMI®-SE/SW Level 3 (staged representation) for 4 projects:
      • 4 project-level PAs: 297 practices * 2 artifacts * 4 projects = 2,376 artifacts
      • 3 organizational PAs: 55 practices * 2 artifacts * 1 OU = 110 artifacts
      • Total: 2,486 artifacts (minimum)
13
Cost  with CMMI
  • CMMI PAs are 33% more than SW-CMM KPAs (18à 24)
    • 44% by Goals 54 à 78
    • 53% by practices 316 à 484
      • 150 à 184 activity practices (23% increase)
      • 166 à 300 institutionalization/generic (81% increase)

  • It simply takes longer when using CMMI than when using SW-CMM, especially if the LA was not rigorous with CBA IPI


  • The cost is not the same when using SCAMPI with SW-CMM
14
SCAMPI Differences
  • More focus on data management, verification, and validation
  • Reduced variation in time management
  • Interpretation of the required method is limited to the Tailoring guidance  and Optional Practices provided in each process and related activities
  • Team management is basically the same
  • Change management from CBA IPI to SCAMPI
    • A natural progression
    • Pain will vary
      • Little for CBA IPI LAs who practiced as CBA IPI was intended, even if not well documented
        • SEI permitted too much interpretation
      • More for some
      • And some who do not like SCAMPI in general it will be intolerable
        • Don’t confuse SCAMPI for SW-CMM with SCAMPI for CMMI

Modes of Usage

17
High Maturity
  • Innovation at level 5 argues for agile approaches
  • Having both agile and plan-driven standard processes allows marketplace agility
  • Application of Lean and Six Sigma techniques at high maturity levels eliminates non-value added processes and results in more agile tailor-up rather than tailor-down approaches
