Is a matrix showing the traceability
suffi cient? Please elaborate.
Response: It is expected that the majority of the organization??™s projects
would be using the OSSP. However, an organization that is improving its
OSSP is likely to have some number of long-term projects that predate the
establishment of the current OSSP. For business reasons, these projects may
not migrate to the new OSSP. All projects??™ defined processes should however
be recognized as alternative processes by the organization. A Lead Appraiser
would expect to see rationale for why projects were exempted from using
the OSSP. A Lead Appraiser would expect to see an analysis of the existing
process against the OSSP that may take the form of a traceability matrix.
However, the existence of such a matrix would not in and of itself be suf-
ficient to exclude a project from using the OSSPs. Furthermore, it should be
recognized that a project??™s defined process that is not tailored from the OSSPs
will have an impact on organizational learning and any efforts to establish
performance baselines for the organization and for these projects.
