Format your plan based on the four phases of process improvement: Set Up,
Design, Pilot, and Implementation (see Table 14.1).
The last section of the Implementation/Operations Plan discusses controlling
the effort. Basic tracking mechanisms should initially focus on the following areas.
As learning and sophistication increase within the organization, more metrics may
be added. Basic metrics to track include:
Actual size of deliverables
Actual effort (staff hours) expended for major activities
Start and end dates for major activities
Completion dates for identified milestones
Number and type of changes to this plan
Action Plans
Action Plans are usually produced by the PATs assigned to address the weaknesses
found during the SCAMPI. Table 14.2 shows a sample Action Plan template. PATs
are usually set up according to process areas (such as Requirements Management
(REQM), Project Planning, Integrated Process Management). Action Plans should
be based on the SCAMPI results. They also must be measurable. Tie them directly
to the CMMI PAs and practices to maintain focus on the CMMI itself and to
make tracking progress easier.
