Why CMMI Level 3?Some examples

• Cost Savings 20 drop in costs from Level 1 to
  Level 2 and an additional 32 drop from Level 2
  to Level 3
• Productivity Doubled the number of releases
  from 3 to 6 per year at Level 3
• Quality 44 defect reduction utilizing causal
  analysis at Level 3
• Excerpts from Performance Results of CMMI-Based
  Process Improvement (August 2006)

Four Important Questions

1. What is SEM all about?
2. Why is MDIT doing it?
3. When will it happen?
4. How will it affect me, my job, my career?

12
1. What is SEM all about?

• Its a standardized approach to systems
  development that assures we build, deliver, and
  maintain applications that meet or exceed our
  clients expectations.
• Its the M1/ADOPT for application development.

  based solutions while maximizing efficient use of
  resources.
• Improve coordination across functional areas of
  MDIT.

19
When will it happen?

How will it affect me, my job, my career?

• Clients managers will have better ways to
  manage and track projects.
• Employees will have more standard ways to do
  their work, including more complete
  documentation. Consistent processes and reliable
  documentation will increase mobility and
  opportunities for MDIT staff.
• More effort up-front effort results in higher
  quality delivered to production.
• Increased interaction and coordination between
  DIT and agency staff will deliver solutions that
  meet client requirements.
• Improved coordination will speed project
  completion.

Interaction with SEM
23
SEM Implementation Approach

• Agency IO Core Team
• Wave Strategy (3 waves)
• Identify applications or projects for each wave
• Communication and Training
• Integration with PMM processes

24
IO Core Team

• Representative from each selected application or
  project that will implement the SEM
• SEM Champion
• Identify gaps between current new methodology
• Develop strategies to bridge the gaps
• Identify issues
• Identify SEM areas that need improvement

25
Wave Strategy

• 3 Waves
• First Wave identifies at least one application or
  project per CSD
• Waves 2 and 3 add more applications until all
  applications or projects are using the SEM

26
Communication Training

• TechTalk and Staff meetings
• Awareness Presentations
• Process Training
• Detailed Template Training

27
Integration with Project Management Processes

• Coordination with Release Planning process
• Release Schedules reflect SEM stages
• Ability to validate SEM usage
• Gather SEM baseline metrics
