The PI Plan
Executives need a PI Plan. Its purpose is to get executive buy-in, generate a written
contract for PI, and get money allocated for PI. Sometimes the sponsor will generate
the plan, sometimes the Engineering Process Group (EPG) Lead will generate
the plan, and sometimes the Transition Partner (outside consultant) will generate
the plan. Whoever creates the plan must remember that PI must be managed like
any other well-managed project??”do a schedule, track against the schedule, assign
staff, identify and track deliverables, and so forth. Process Improvement must be
planned and tracked just like any other project. The PI plan should address and
schedule the following activities:
Using a SCAMPI to baseline current processes
Establishing the EPG and PAT structure
Providing training in the CMMI and PAs
Measuring progress through mini-appraisals
Designing??“Piloting??“Implementing processes
Conducting full-blown SCAMPI for certification
The PI Plan defines the problem, the purpose of PI for this organization, and the
purpose of this plan.
