This is also not a good idea. Standards must fit the type of
work done and the culture of the organization. Standards should be tailored to
work for everybody mandated to use them. Otherwise, they will not be used.
Summary
The organization needs to devise a method to assign resources, schedule the work,
decompose activities to manageable size, trace requirements and contractual obligations,
and measure success. We suggest that individuals be given certain roles to
play to carry out these assignments. We suggest that a sponsor designate a champion,
and that an EPG Lead be appointed to work with personnel from the organization
to establish the process improvement infrastructure. The CMMI is tremendously
interconnected. Your organization will want to know how everything fits together.
Do not attempt to flowchart the CMMI. This exercise goes in one ear and out the
other because people have little experience with the CMMI and can??™t equate it with
anything relevant to them.
Try to do most of what the CMMI suggests. If it does not fit, document why
and devise an alternative practice.
