The Lead Appraiser does not determine the findings, the rating, or whether you
pass or fail the SCAMPI. The Lead Appraiser leads the appraisal by helping to
devise the schedule, the activities, and offering interpretation of the model where
needed. The point is, the appraisal is a team effort. The Lead Appraiser is responsible
for the quality of the SCAMPI A. SCAMPI A results are reported to the SEI
and the results undergo review by the SEI.
The Appraisal Team also may include representatives from the organization
being appraised. The overall team size, skills, and experience should result in a
professional, nonbiased team capable of working together and telling the truth.
As early as possible in the planning phase, the Lead Appraiser works with the
internal coordinator from the appraised organization to select appropriate internal

Appraisal Team Members from the organization. The size of the team varies based
on the scope of the appraisal, but generally ranges from four to six people. The offi -
cial minimum number of team members is four, with a recommended maximum
of nine.
