These separate initiatives are going to be using
different methods, techniques, and models as a basis for their work. Using CMMI
has the potential to bring together existing process improvement initiatives covering
software engineering, systems engineering, and hardware engineering activities
within an organization.
Organizations that we work with have reported problems between groups
because of different maturity levels of their processes; different expectations from
senior management; different levels of training; and a mismatch of policies, processes,
and procedures. These problems are often more diffi cult to resolve because of
the separate initiatives occurring at the same time within the organization.
This chapter covers some of the things to consider when combining or aligning
multiple process improvement initiatives. The topics covered are process improvement
team structure, integration of existing procedures, measurement programs,
and training programs. Following the topics, example real-world scenarios are
described.
