The alternative substituted
must be equal to the intent of the original practice. Don??™t try to substitute
another practice because your organization is having trouble instituting the
original practice.
Subpractices, elaborations, typical work products, and notes are informative and
are used to help the reader understand the intent of the goals and practices,
as well as how they may be achieved. Do not discount the subpractices!
Sometimes, they are much more helpful and specific in understanding the
activity than their associated practice.
Summary
No matter which representation of the CMMI is used, each has levels. Within each
level are generic goals pertaining to all of the process areas in that level and specific
goals pertaining only to a specific process area. Goals have practices associated with
them. Practices are associated with only one goal.
So, let??™s stop all the nonsense right now??”there is really only one representation
of the CMMI model. There are two approaches to using the model??”the staged
approach and the continuous approach.
