SUITE SEM Implementation Process Training

Today’s Topics SUITE Phase 1: Where We’ve Been SUITE Phase 2: Where we are Now Roll out of the process Provide overall understanding of the SEM (Systems Engineering Methodology) Detailed training as Applications are selected SUITE Phase 3: Where We’re Going

Communication & Training TechTalk and Staff meetings Awareness Presentations Process Training Detailed Template Training Provided when needed Assures standardized approach Templates are easy to complete/modify!

Useful Acronyms SUITE = State Unified Information Technology Environment SEM = Systems Engineering Methodology CMMI = Capability Maturity Model Integrated CMMI Level 3 = Maturity Level that is characterized by defined processes SEI = Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University PMM= Project Management Methodology

Long Range Vision: CMMI Level 3

CMMI Benefits CMMI Provides: Guidance for efficient, effective improvement across multiple process disciplines in an organization A common language and a shared vision Collection of best practices A way to define what improvement means for an organization Roadmap for process improvement www.sei.cmu.edu/cmmi Emphasize Multiple Process Disciplines in an organization Organization = DIT as an enterprise and includes AS, IS, and Enterprise Security

CMMI Performance Measures Based on SEI Research with 35 different organizations* Performance Category Median Improvement Cost 34% Schedule 50% Productivity 61% Quality 48% Customer Satisfaction 14% Return on Investment 4:1 *Private Sector Experience

Purpose of SUITE Provide an integrated CMMI Level 3 compliant systems development framework that encompasses: Process Management Project Management – Already rolled out Systems Engineering Support Processes

Integration with Project Management Processes What is a PMO Single area Matrixed Developing Coordination with Release Planning process Release Schedules reflect SEM stages Ability to validate SEM usage Gather Process SEM metrics

Useful SEM Terms SEM – Systems Engineering Methodology Stages and Stage Exits Templates and Checklists Process Guides Touch Points SEM Express Inputs/Outputs – Items used and products developed

Everyone needs to know the answer to four questions 1. What is SEM all about? A standardized approach to development to assure we design, deliver and maintain applications that meet clients expectations Michigan/1 for Application Development

Everyone needs to know the answer to four questions 2. Why is MDIT doing it? Develop more reliable, cost-effective, computer-based solutions while making efficient use of resources. Improve coordination between functional areas across MDIT

Everyone needs to know the answer to four questions 3. When will it happen Wave one implementation begins in March

4. How will it affect me, my job, & my career? Clients & managers will have better ways to manage and track projects. Employees will have more standard ways to do their work. More up-front effort results in higher quality delivered to production. Increased interaction and coordination between DIT and agency staff will deliver solutions that meet client expectations. Improved coordination will speed project implementation.

SEM Implementation Began March 2007

Wave Strategy for Implementation First Wave identifies at least one application or project per CSD Waves 2 (using SEM Express) and 3 (using SEM Systems Maintenance Guide) add more applications until all areas are using the SEM IO/Core Team –Local SEM Champion(s) to support the strategy

How do I learn more? TechTalk and Staff meetings Awareness Presentations Process Training Detailed Template Training As you implement where do you go for questions Your Manager Local IO Core team and SEM Champion(s) Michigan.gov/SUITE

How Can You Help Embrace the Systems Engineering Methodology Help identify areas to improve Use this process to improve the quality of your work Champion this process with the clients and others Provide support to other staff and client as needed
