The PAT Lead (an EPG member) will determine which practices and associated
findings to attack in which sequence, by reviewing complexity, available staff,
skill sets of staff, and so forth. The PAT Lead works with his group determining
work assignments and sequence of the work. The PAT Lead, working with
the PAT members and the EPG will ask the following questions: Can a practice
172 n Interpreting the CMMI
be combined with another practice or practices into one document instead of
several? What are the dependencies between the other practices in that process
area and with other process areas? How do these activities tie in with activities of
other PATs? Do we need to write procedures for all of the practices in the process
area? Are we going to have a separate Metrics PAT that focuses on the Directing
Implementation common feature?
Here is an example: Each process area has some sort of requirement for ???objectively
evaluating adherence.??? Are you going to have each PAT write a procedure documenting
how this will be done, or will you try to write one overall, generic procedure
for how to perform this function for all of the process areas, and a checklist for those
items to review per process area? You can do this in whatever way makes sense for
your organization, as long as the practices for each process area are covered.
