How can you have Verification, Validation, and Product
Integration as separate entities? Generally, in most organizations, if you do one,
you must do the others. The CMMI states that using the continuous representation,
and focusing on capability levels, allows an organization to select process areas
within process categories to focus their process improvement efforts. In the continuous
representation, how can you attempt Validation, or Verification, or practically
any other process area without also tackling to some extent Project Planning,
Project Monitoring and Control, and Product and Process Quality Assurance? The
generic practices correspond to their associated process areas, but more information
and guidance are contained in the process areas than in the generic practices. So,
those of you thinking of selecting the continuous representation so that you can
select only a few process areas for improvement will find that you are sadly mistaken.
Everything is related. The different representations used are simply to help
the reader understand the basic tenets of the model.
