If you find that you do not have the information requested by
the PIIDs, you are in trouble. The evidence requested is based on the Typical Work
Products and examples used in the CMMI. Perhaps you need to ask yourselves,
have we really implemented our processes correctly? Direct and indirect artifacts
are required for satisfaction of practices and process areas in the SCAMPI. Without
having adequate documentation in your PIIDs, you will not have a successful
SCAMPI.

Chapter 23
Agile and the CMMi
This chapter discusses using Agile Methods with CMMI processes. Some of you
will think we are crazy; that the two should never, and could never, mix. Au contraire.
One of our clients, recently awarded CMMI Maturity Level 5, has blended
the two approaches and seen significant benefits. Our client reports that productivity
on Scrum teams (an Agile Method) is almost twice that of traditional teams.
Projects demonstrated that using a story-based, test-driven approach to software
development reduced defects found during final test by 40 percent.
