The power of the CMMI
lies in that it lets you define your job??”how you do it and what gets produced from
it. But with power comes responsibility. If you want to control how you do your
jobs, you need to fully participate in the process improvement program.
Mistakes are a good thing. It shows you are trying. It shows you are improving
after your mistakes go down. However, the predominant mantra in the industry is
that mistakes are bad. If you make a mistake, you get hammered for it. There is no
middle ground, no shades of gray. You are either 100 percent right or 100 percent
wrong. With process improvement, if no mistakes are made, then the processes are
probably not being used. Processes are generally not written ???right??? or perfectly the
first time around; nor are they initially implemented and practiced correctly.
Also, please remember that although we say that process improvement involves
skilled professionals with an objective, unbiased, professional attitude toward their
work, everyone on the process improvement team has a large amount of personal
investment in this effort.
