The PIG is responsible for systems process and procedures.
The corporate training department covers systems engineering training
activities. There is very little formal interaction between the SEPG and the PIG, but
a lot of competition. Each group has its own logo, t-shirts, and coffee cups.
Approach: Wily Coyote Industries has defined its organizational scope for the
CMMI initiative to include systems engineering and software engineering. It has
left the SEPG and PIG separate, but has assigned a member of the SEPG to attend
all PIG meetings and a member of PIG to attend all SEPG meetings. It has moved
the responsibility for software training to the corporate training department and
has transferred the old software-training group to corporate.
Rationale: The rationale for the separate teams is that:
The SEPG is planning a Level 5 appraisal against the CMM for Software
next year and sees this as priority over the CMMI initiative.
The competition between the groups was determined to be healthy by executive
management.
The processes and procedures for software are quite varied with very different
approaches in each domain (embedded, information systems, and command
and control applications).
