A Class C Appraisal Method has even fewer requirements than a Class B. A
Class C requires only one source of data (interviews, instruments, or documents).
Team consensus, observation validation, observation corroboration, data suffi -
ciency, and draft presentation are optional. Team size can be as small as one person.
Making observation validation and observation corroboration optional means the
team does not need to agree that enough data has been gathered for an observation
and that observations need not be consistent with other observations. The result
of an appraisal without team consensus, observation validation, observation corroboration,
data suffi ciency, and draft presentations is an appraisal done in a shorter
amount of time and effort, but again, with much less confidence in the findings.
A Class C can be done on documentation of a process that has not yet been implemented.
No implementation evidence is required. The result is an understanding of
how well the process documentation satisfies the CMMI.
Which Class Appraisal Method Should i use?
Organizations that are involved in process improvement often use a range of methods
to appraise their improvement progress.
