They all stated that measurement is the key to successful
improvement efforts. But is creating this as a stand-alone process area the
answer? Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Most organizations at Levels 4
and 5 are large organizations with deep pockets. Do these organizations
really believe that they could institute this process area in their organizations
back when their organizations were not quite as sophisticated as
they are today? Do they believe that small organizations can implement
this process area as written? Comprehensive metrics programs for small
organizations, while beneficial, are too hard and expensive to implement
at Level 2.
Counterpoint: Level 2 in CMMI still remains somewhat comparable to
what it was in the CMM for Software. This should allow organizations,
no matter what their size, to readily achieve this level if they had already
been appraised at Level 2 or above using the CMM. Measurement truly
is the key to focused improvement. As stated, if you have done it, you
should be able to measure it.
