CMMI Transition StatusAs reported to the SEI as
of 12-31-041
More than the SG ever envisioned would be
trained, yet still growing by 700 / mo

• Training
• Introduction to CMMI 27,585 trained
• Intermediate CMMI 1,306 trained
• Introduction to CMMI Instructors 372 trained
• SCAMPI Lead Appraisers - 492 trained
• Authorized
• Introduction to CMMI V1.1 Instructors 232
  
• SCAMPI V1.1 Lead Appraisers 355

CMMI v1.2 Vision

• Primary rule of CMMI improvement
• Do thyself no harm
• Secondary rules of CMMI Improvement
• Changes must be based upon documented needs
• Simplicity and brevity is better than volume
• Legacy is good, but effectiveness is better

7
V1.2 Current Decisions

• Reduce size and complexity
• Use a single book approach (not single
  representation).
• Eliminate concept of advanced practices.
  Eliminate concept of common features. Integrate
  the valuable content elsewhere in the model
• Improve model-method interactions for artifacts.
• Replace OEI with Work Environment.
• Only suggested change to the PA structure
  (several rejected)
• Work Environment will have SE/SW baseline
  content as well as its IPPD content
• Address Hardware by adding informative material
• Amplifications like those for SE and SW
• Typical work products or other examples
• Not designated as new discipline.
• Hardware experts will be positioned on a model
  sub-team

8
V1.2 Current Plans 2

• Appraisal update will receive split approach
• V1.1A providing needed clarifications to the new
  SCAMPI that was V1.1 available in mid-2005
• V1.1A may be delayed one month
• V1.2 release with model revision for larger issue
  resolution
• Single Book training course was successfully
  piloted late last year with positive feedback
• Anticipate that the single book course will
  replace the Staged and Continuous courses for
  V1.2
• Cross-team membership will assure coordinated
  approaches (model development, piloting, CR
  handling)

9
V1.2 Next Steps

• The V1.2 A-Spec will be approved by the Steering
  Group.
• The teams will further review the CRs to identify
  possible change packages for a V1.2 of model
  and/or method.
• CCB(s) will determine which CPs, if any, should
  be accepted (stability goal remains).
• Improvement packages will be developed to create
  a beta for piloting (model, method, and
  training)
• Piloting will be conducted in FY 05/06.
• V1.2, incorporating piloting feedback, will be
  released in FY 06.

Companies interested in piloting CMMI release
V1.2 in Fall 05 should contact Mike Philllips,
CMMI Project Team Lead, SEI dmp_at_sei.cmu.edu

CMMI for Services Initiative

• NEED
• Services represent more than half of all DoD
  acquisition budget
• Services impact most major weapons systems
• Aircraft Maintenance
• Ship Maintenance
• Other Military Equipment Maintenance
• C4I System Maintenance
• PROBLEM
• CMMI Framework has much that applies to services
• Process Management, Support, most Program
  Management
• But . CMMI-SE/SW is primarily focused on
  development
• Actually can restrict services organizations from
  applying it to improve capability
• Not all services organizations perform
  engineering as expected in CMMI
• Some PAs exclude services organizations in their
  language and examples
• Some functions are different in Services
  organizations
• Project planning is very resource dependent
• Service level agreements require different
  perspective and processes than system performance
  specifications

11
CMMI for Services - Objective

• Create a CMMI for services organizations
• Based upon the CMMI Framework
• Using the new CMMI Architectural guidelines
• Stripped of Development-only focus
• Adapted to the specialized environment of
  services organizations
• Initial focus will be on needs of organizations
  that provide services to DoD
• With provision for future inclusion of commercial
  / non-DoD organizational environments

12
Proposed Approach

• Create/enhance the initial perspective and vision
  for Services CMMI
• Create detailed plan for work
• Prepare an initial draft for CMMI for Services
• Identify and remove development-specific elements
  of CMMI-SE/SW/IPPD/SS v1.1
• Coordinate with Product Team to accommodate plans
  for CMMI-SE/SWIPPDSS v1.2
• Identify gaps in remaining material for Services
  environments
• Create services specific elements for existing
  material
• Amplifications (to guide use for services)
• Practices (restatements or additions)
• PAs (where needed)
• Utilize generic SCAMPI without modifications
• Review training and identify potential
  modifications
• Present draft for review by services community
• Pilot draft with multiple services organizations
• Feedback early Services findings to V1.2 as
  appropriate to simplify the Framework and
  encourage overall commonality
• Services team will proceed in parallel with V1.2
  team under SEI Product Team Leadership

13
Expectations for Volunteer Participants

• Completion of Intro to CMMI course
• Or previous work on CMMI Product Team
• Involvement and Experience in DoD Services
  Environment
• Commitment of at least ½ time for 3 months
• Probably in separated bursts
• Some evidence of team skills
• For Training analysis
• Familiarity with CMMI Framework training content

We plan to have a small team with service
experience rather than a gaggle of interested
and committed theorists.

Request NDIA SED Sponsor Approval

• Several NDIA SED organizations have already
  pledged their support if approved
• Northrop Grumman
• Lockheed Martin
• Boeing
• CSC
• SSPC
• Effort will be initiated only if approved
