15. What are the minimum contents of an organization??™s set of standard
processes?
Response: The OSSPs (Organization??™s Set of Standard Processes) must
cover the processes for the engineering, project management, engineering
support (e.g., QA and CM), and organizational activities (e.g., training and
process group; limited to software if the appraisal is limited that way). The
294 n Interpreting the CMMI
OSSPs describe the fundamental process elements that will be part of the
project??™s defined processes. It also describes the relationships (for example,
ordering and interfaces) between these process elements. Often the OSSPs for
the organizational processes are one and the same as the defined processes.
The OPD process area provides specific information as to what might be in
the process descriptions and how they might be defined. This information is
reasonable for most organizations and would be considered by the Appraisal
Team. But there are no hard and fast rules as to the minimum content.
16. Some projects??™ defined software processes may predate the establishment of
the organization??™s standard software process.
