CMMI has leveraged this information, consolidated
it, and presents it in a format that can be tailored to the needs of any
organization. While several process areas within CMMI may prolong
the development and delivery of systems, using the Process Areas of this
model will result in better products delivered and better decision making
by executives.
Issue: CMMI was written for already mature organizations.
Point: Early, introductory material from the Staged Representation of an
earlier version of CMMI states that organizations currently rated at the
higher maturity levels, or pursuing Malcolm Baldridge or ISO 9000
certification, should consider using the CMMI. These organizations are
already working on, or have achieved, some notion of process improvement.
But isn??™t it true that most organizations are still functioning at the
lower levels? Is this an elitist model? Consider the following example.
Measurement and Analysis is now a stand-alone process area. Measurement
and Analysis used to be a common feature in the previous CMM.
