1. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies CMMI kick off July 2005

2. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Agenda Focus CMMI Generic goals Specific goals and practices Continuous representation Selected Process areas Road map to CMMI

3. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Focus --  CMMI CMMI extends the CMM framework –Integrates more aspects (product integration, measurement and analysis…) –Adds more details to elements of software engineering into a single model (explicitly stated practices) –Categorized as Process Management, Project Management, Engineering, Support and Supplier Acquisition & Management

4. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Focus --  CMMI CMMI has 2 representations –Maturity levels --- Staged representation –Capability levels – Continuous representation Staged representation (Maturity levels) means –Organization’s preparedness to manage software –Focus is on the organization as a whole Continuous representation (Capability levels) means –Organization’s capability to perform a process area –Focus is on the specific process area(s)

5. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies CMMI Structure Process area Specific goalsGeneric goals Specific practices Generic practices Capability levels Continuous representation

6. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Generic goals and Practices

7. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Generic goals and practices Common to Process areas Talks about taking the process through capability levels –Not performed –Performed – implementing common practices in projects –Managed – taking them to the organization level –Defined – establishing the defined process and collect improvement information –Quantitatively managed – set goals and make measurable improvements –Optimizing – continuous improvements using measures

8. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Specific goals and Practices

9. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Specific goals & practices Describe the activities to be done for a Process area Example: –Project planning Estimate Develop a project plan Obtain commitment to the plan Specific practices are elaborations on the goals Reference : The model - T:\PEGv3.1\CMMI\CMMi-SW1.1-continuous

10. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Continuous representation Facilitates selection on Process areas –Focus on selected process areas A capability level is assigned for the process area performed Method of assessment is similar to CMM, keeping the focus on the proficiency of the performed process areas

11. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Selected process areas Focus Process areas –Project planning –Project monitoring and control –Integrated project management –Configuration management –Quantitative project management –Requirements management –Requirements development –Technical solution –Verification –Validation Project management Engineering

12. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Road map CMMI We are here –CMM L3 Defined processes at org level Implementations at project level using PDSP Initiated data collection Target –CMMI level 5 (Capability) Measurements – establishing performance baselines Quantitative improvements

13. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Road map to CMMI Phase 1- Gap analysis ---- completion by Aug 1 st week –Preparatory – understand the model –Establish a process baseline –Map the current practices and process definition to CMMI for the selected Process areas –Report gaps Phase 2- Address gaps -plan --- completion by Aug 2 nd week –Identify ‘what’ needs to be in place with the focus on CMMI –Define ‘how’ the needs are to be implemented in the projects

14. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Road map to CMMI –Identify new goals –Update current process documents, templates, checklists/ guidelines Phase 3- Implementation – completion by Mid October –Roll out into projects –Implement the revised processes/new methods to achieve the revised goals –Audits, measures and analysis –Feedback to process definition and course correction

15. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Road map to CMMI Phase 4 - Check point – completion by December 2005 –Internal assessment Consolidate measures Compare against goals and CMMI objectives –Path A Require further fine-tuning- go to Phase 3 –Path B Good to go ahead Plan Implementation review series for CMMI Phase 5 – IPRs – completion by 2006 February end Phase 6 – final assessment – by March 2006

16. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Road map CMM L3 We are here Gap analysis completion Aug 1 st week Address gaps completion Aug 2 nd week Implementation completion Oct 2 nd – 3rd week Checkpoint Nov 2 nd -3 rd week Formal IPRs completion ’06 Feb end Final assessment ’06 March end CMMI L5

18. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Appendix - GG Achieve specific goals (CL 1 – performed) –Perform base practices (specific practices of that PA) Institutionalize a managed process (CL 2 – managed) –Establish an org policy for the process –Plan the process --- define –Provide resources to execute the process –Assign responsibility – identify who would what activities of the process –Train people in their responsibilities –Manage configurations ---changes/ improvements to the process

19. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Appendix - GG Institutionalize a managed process (CL 2 – managed) –Identify and involve stakeholders - commitment –Monitor and control the process – track implementation –Objectively evaluate adherence –Review status with higher level management Institutionalize a defined process (CL 3- Defined) –Establish a defined process - institutionalizing PA –Collect improvement information

20. @2002 Copyright, Itreya Technologies Appendix - GG Institutionalize a quantitatively managed process (CL 4- managed) –Establish quantitative objectives for the process –Stabilize sub-process performance (affected processes) Institutionalize an optimizing process (CL 5 – optimizing) –Ensure continuous process improvement (setting newer goals) –Correct root causes of problems (optimization)
