3. Transitioning from the CMM to the CMMI will be a trivial effort.
Not if you read and understand points 1 and 2. There are also more procedures
and training to be done, due to the additional process areas included
in the model, and more people and groups to get involved. A presentation at
the European SEPG Conference in Amsterdam described one organization??™s
attempt to transition from the Systems Engineering Maturity Model, which it
had been using for two to three years, to CMMI. The organization described
its struggle as ???significant.???
4. The continuous representation allows you to select fewer process areas to
institutionalize.
Well, sort of. Yes, you can deselect PAs. But it doesn??™t really save an organization
much in time, effort, and cost because the PAs are so interrelated
and interdependent that you will soon discover that you must back up and
include more and more PAs (or at least, several of the practices contained
within the PAs) to be successful. For instance, in the continuous representation,
how can you attempt Validation, or Verification, or practically any other
process area without also tackling to some extent Project Planning, Project
Monitoring and Control, and Process and Product Quality Assurance? Don??™t
you need to plan, track, and ensure the quality of your product or process?
And the generic goals and generic practices seem to enforce that you do so.
