0 indicated that the appraisals took too much time. As a
result, a performance goal of SCAMPI v1.1 (and v1.2) was defined as follows:
Onsite activities should be completed within 2 weeks or 100 hours
(excluding training and pre-onsite activities) for an appraisal covering
CMMI, through Maturity Level 3. Four projects would be reviewed
that represent the organizational unit. Both the systems engineering and
software engineering disciplines would be included.
???New??? approaches taken to meet this goal included the development of the
Practice Implementation Indicators (PII) that are collected prior to the onsite review
in a PII Description (PIID). This approach is based on the best practice from many
process improvement specialists, Lead Evaluators, and Lead Assessors of having the
organization generate and maintain a compliance matrix showing how practices are
performed in the organization. Table 20.3 shows a sample PIID Element containing
the three types of PII information collected: Direct Work Product, Indirect Work
