Once you collect this information about your teams you should be in a position
to restructure your teams for better alignment. Make sure whatever teams you keep
have a charter, a plan (not just a schedule; see Chapter 11), a budget, a management
or an executive sponsor, and a communication plan. Later in this chapter, we discuss
two scenarios related to team integration.
integration of existing Policies,
Processes, and Procedures
The separate process improvement initiatives in your organization are likely to have
developed separate processes and procedures. Some organizations have written
their policies, processes, and procedures to map directly to their process improvement
model (e.g., CMM for Software, CMMI, SA-CMM), so one of the negative
side effects of different process improvement models has been an incompatible set
of policies, processes, and procedures. To resolve these problems, we offer the following
questions and suggested approaches.
Questions you should ask regarding your process-related documentation
include:
Do your current policies cover your selected CMMI scope?
Do you need more detailed procedures?
Do you have overlap in your procedures?
What procedures should be merged?
What procedures should remain separate?
Following are some suggested approaches to integrating policies, processes, and
procedures.
