- What is the CMMI?
- Australian DoD Appraisal Background
- Impact of Measurement on the CMMI
- Aggregated Appraisal Results
- Lessons Learnt
- Summary
|
3
|
- The Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) is a model of world’s
best practice covering:
- Process Management
- Project Management
- Systems Engineering
- Software Engineering, and
- Support Functions including QA, CM, Measurement & Analysis, and
Decision Making
|

|
- CMMI was selected for the following reasons:
- Defence acquires total system capabilities - not just software
- Able to perform concurrent or separate appraisals
- Can tailor to focus on specific process areas
- Can produce a capability profile as well as an organisational maturity
level
- CMMI sources:
- EIA/IS 731, SW-CMM, IPD-CMM, SA-CMM
- PDT (Industry, Academia, Government)
|
6
|
- Evaluate the model
- Understand the appraisal methodology & resources required.
- Encourage (SE/SW) PI in Australian Defence industry.
- Establish appraisal expertise.
- Map CMMI to ISO/IEC 15504 - correspondence & translation.
|
7
|
- 15 appraisals completed to date (6 SCAMPI A(SM), 9 SCAMPI B(SM))
- As a result of Trials Program, DSWE has a team of highly experienced
appraisers
- CMMI to ISO 15504 mapping completed
- Development of safety process extension (+SAFE)
- Generated interest from Defence, Defence industry, non-Defence industry
and other Australian government departments

|
- Observations for each practice - 300 to 500 + (dependent on scope of
appraisal)
- Findings (global and per Process Area) - strengths and improvement
opportunities
- Ratings against goals
- Capability Profile
- Non-CMMI findings
|

|
- Measurement and Analysis mapped onto the rest of the CMMI in one of
three categories:
- Explicit dependency
- Enabler (including implicit dependency)
- No explicit dependency
- Method Used:
- Review of CMMI (Normative and Informative sections of the model)
- Appraisal experience

- Goal:
- Verification Specific Goal 2: Perform Peer Review
- Description:
- Peer reviews are performed on selected work products
- Practice implementation indicators:
- Peer review records
- Data from peer reviews
- Results from analysis conducted on peer review data
|
14
|
- Goal:
- Project Planning Specific Goal 1: Establish Estimates
- Description:
- Estimates of project planning parameters are established and maintained
- Practice implementation indicators:
- Use of estimation parameters
- Estimation rationale
- Use of historical data
|
15
|
- Goal:
- Decision Analysis and Resolution Specific Goal 1: Evaluate Alternatives
- Description:
- Decisions are based on an evaluation of alternatives using established
criteria
- Practice implementation indicators:
- Trigger points for formal decision making process (based on thresholds)
- Trade studies (eg make, buy or reuse)

|
- Measurement is currently being done poorly and/or incompletely
- Capability appraisals catalyse adoption of reform initiatives such as
measurement
- Pre-conceived notion that you should only worry about measurement for
Maturity Level 2 and above
- Resistance to transition from SW-CMM to CMMI significantly reduced after
organisations realise the impact measurement has on the model
|
19
|
- Measurement although not explicitly required for a large part of the
model is still an effective enabler for many practices
- Measurement is key to an effective process improvement program
- Measurement is an enabler for all Process Areas at Capability Levels 1 -
5
- Measurement dependency illustrates the highly integrated nature of the
CMMI
