4 expected organizational Participation during Appraisals
292 n Interpreting the CMMI
time duration that a practice must be performed to consider it institutionalized?
Please elaborate.
Response: Institutionalization in the CMMI is interpreted as satisfying the
requirements of the generic goals. For the staged representation this means
that GG 2 Institutionalize a Managed Process is satisfied for Level 2. In addition,
GG 3 Institutionalize a Defined Process is satisfied for Level 3.
Yes, we expect generic practices to be performed. If one or more generic
practices are not performed, the Appraisal Team will determine the impact
of the missing practice upon satisfying the required generic goal. Although
each generic practice is expected to be performed, the implementation of the
generic practices to individual process areas is often not distinguishable (one
process area versus another), and they may appear to be absent for a process
area or areas. This may be acceptable, but the Appraisal Team would have to
understand and determine whether the implementation is reasonable.
