The OID process area contains a reasonable set of steps for a Level 5 process
improvement function in the following seven specific practices as written:
SP 1.1 Collect and analyze process- and technology-improvement proposals.
SP 1.2 Identify and analyze innovative improvements that could increase the
organization??™s quality and process performance.
SP 1.3 Pilot process and technology improvements to select which ones to
implement.
SP 1.4 Select process- and technology-improvements for deployment across
the organization.
SP 2.1 Establish and maintain the plans for deploying the selected process and
technology improvements.
SP 2.2 Manage the deployment of the selected process and technology
improvements.
SP 2.3 Measure the effects of the deployed process and technology
improvements.
A key to the OID process area that does not come out at the specific practice
level is the assumption that the organization??™s processes are quantitatively managed.
This is a key assumption since stable processes and quantitative data are the
basis for several of the practices.
