We don??™t include an example PI Plan because these plans can be very different,
depending on why an organization is undertaking process improvement, the
culture of the organization, and the different levels of planning required. The PI
Plan is often written by a Transition Partner (outside consultant), in conjunction
with the proposed PI Champion and PI Sponsor. Because budgets and schedules
are a large part of this plan, financial statistics for this program can be found on
the Software Engineering Institute Web site, www.sei.cmu.edu. Also check with
the budget/financial area of the enterprise for data on past improvement/quality/
measurement programs, as well as any major expenditures forecast for upcoming
projects and organizational endeavors.
Implementation/Operations Plan
The Implementation/Operations Plan comes after the shock of the baseline SCAMPI
has worn off. It is now time to get real. The PI Plan is a high-level, strategic vision
type of plan. It makes a case for process improvement and calculates the initial,
overall budget.
