Appraisal teams have reported that
during SCAMPIs, it was diffi cult to not ask yes/no questions when trying
to ascertain whether a practice had been implemented and how it had been
implemented. And when more guidance was needed to understand the practice,
there was none. To fix this problem, the new model has added additional
Hints and Tips. While the information contained in these Hints and Tips is
interesting and sometimes helpful, there is not a lot of interpretive guidance
given.
7. CMMI is based on the best practices and lessons learned reported from usage
of the CMM.
At the 2002 SEPG Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, this question was
specifically asked of three of the authors of the original CMM for Software.
Their presentation was about what they would have included in the CMM,
based on what they now know many years later, having assessed or assisted
in many implementations in many organizations. The question posed was,
based on their discussion, were any of these lessons learned included in the
CMMI? Their response was a moment of silence, and then a reference to
Organizational Innovation and Deployment (OID at Level 5).
