The CMMI breaks down the focus areas into process areas
that include such activities as quality assurance, project planning, configuration
management, and requirements development. Model-based improvement is usually
not quite as radical as BPR??”although if needed in an organization, it can be.
Also, while process (what is done) in the CMMI can be documented at the flow
chart level, supporting procedures defining how to do the process are produced.
And CMMI process areas can be tied to the larger, core business process, goals, and
objectives in order to help solve problems in those areas. We show you how later.
Although all five types of approaches are different, there are many similarities.
Each approach selects a process??”not a product??”to be improved. The result
of the improvement may be an improved product, but it is the process that is the
focus. Each approach uses a team, either formal or informally based. Planning and
research are done prior to beginning the attempt. A definition of current processing
is documented.
