Projects within the DOD realm generally consist of many
people devoted full time to one project or many people devoted full time
to one of several subprojects. These projects run for years and cost millions
of dollars. This type of thinking is completely opposite to that of
small organizations. One example of problems that small organizations
currently have with the CMM is the number of ???groups??? suggested by the
CMM to achieve Level 3. The number of groups suggested is 13. Even if a
group may range from one person, part time, to several people full time, if
your entire organization only consists of 20 people maximum, 13 groups
become quite an expenditure of resources. CMMI, relying heavily on
practices maintained by large organizations, will be even more diffi cult
to implement in small organizations. CMMI has been slow to catch on
in the commercial community. CMMI tends to attract DOD/aerospace
organizations. The only tailoring guidelines given are called ???Discipline
Amplifications??? or some ???Hints and Tips,??? which reside in the margins
of most process areas, and consist only of one or two sentences.
