either baseline their capability/maturity level(s), to establish or update a
process improvement program, or to measure progress in implementing such
a program. Applications include measuring process improvement progress,
conducting process audits, focusing on speci?¬?c domains or product lines,
appraising speci?¬?c parts of the organization, and preparing for external
customer-led appraisals. In this manner, SCAMPI A appraisals supplement

Selection
