IF that’s All It *IS*, Then… WHY is it so complicated? WHY is it so confusing? WHY do people have so much trouble with it? CMMI assumes use by subject matter experts subject-matter experts. CMMI assumes users are “learning organizations”. CMMI inadvertently “shorts” the learning of process shorts improvement. Recommended Reading: Chasing the Rabbit, Steven Spear ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc.

Improvement not Definition The model is not the process! CMMI is full of practices to IMPROVE your processes, processes not to DEFINE your processes. You likely have practices of your own in most/all process areas. Probably by other names. Likely generating their own appropriate work products. CMMI’s practices are meant to improve those activities. ti iti If you’re not doing an activity, it’s probably a good idea to do it so you could do worse than consider it. it, it ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc.

… In Other Words and Therefore: You need to know what you’re doing before CMMI can help. How you manage projects, develop products, & define your standards are yours. Not all projects or processes are good candidates for improvement with CMMI. Pursuit of Maturity Levels is likely to cause non-value-added work to some of your projects and processes processes. That’s why CMMI emphasizes the business value of the improvements. PAs are called Process Areas and not processes because they are areas of process activities. Regardless of where & when they might appear on a project. j t ®2009 Entinex, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ***PROPRIETARY*** 17-Jul-09 26

Process Areas (PAs) Process Areas: 22 in DEV 22 in ACQ 24 in SVC (including addition) Each PA describes: One set of goals and practices that make up the process area: Specific Goals and Specific Practices And one set of practices that are shared across all process areas: Generic Goals and Generic Practices ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ***PROPRIETARY*** 17-Jul-09 44

Specific Goals (SG) Each Process Area has at least 1 Specific Goal All the Specific Practices are organized by which Specific Goal they help organizations achieve. The Goals are what organizations are required to pursue. While the Practices are what organizations are expected to perform, they can be swapped with alternative practices. lt ti ti ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ***PROPRIETARY*** 17-Jul-09 45

Specific Practices (SP) What organizations are “expected” to actually do in order to achieve a Goal is described in some number of Specific Practices. Most Goals have several practices. The straightest line to achieving a goal is to perform the practices. The “straightest line” may a matter of perspective.

Choice of “Staged” or “Continuous” representation determines which Generic Goals are required for a level rating. “Capability Level N ” implies that you are performing Capability all the SG/SPs in a PA + all the GPs in through GG N GGs imply how “deeply institutionalized” your practices are… ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ***PROPRIETARY*** 17-Jul-09 47

Generic Practices (GP) GPs in each GG describe what you’re doing to “institutionalize” the SGs and SPs. SPs @ GG 1 you are barely executing the PA’s SPs from PA s project to project. @ GG2 you are making a conscious effort to plan, track, and ensure the success of each PA’s SPs. It may l k different f look diff t from project t project, b t you’re j t to j t but ’ doing enough work each time to get it right. ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc.

GP stuff continued @ GG3 you have a single set of defined processes that each project uses and tailors to their specific instantiation. With a single set, you can now start to i t ti ti i l t t tt collect and feed-back improvement data on the processes. @ GG 4 you will be using the data in GG 3 to manage the processes using numbers, not just management oversight. “Quantitatively Managed” @ GG 5 you’re able to use computational methods to you re predict process performance, to anticipate process issues, and to create an environment in which you can really get creative with what you improve how improve, you improve, and when. ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc.

What’s “Required”? Goals are REQUIRED Practices are expected not required You’ve ‘got’ to be doing “something” to be achieving a g goal. If you don’t already have good ideas for how to achieve a goal, the practices are a good place to start. Everything else is “commentary” Which can be helpful if the goals or practices aren’t self-explanatory. self-explanatory Don’t assume you and CMMI use terms the same way.y ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc.

If you remember nothing Else … CMMI has no processes in it. Process Areas *don’t* develop or deliver products or *don t* services. You need a lot more than what s in a PA to create what’s anything anyone wants to pay for. Description vs. Prescription for health management. Remember The Enterprise… What does it mean to appraise against a “model” and how the appraisal works. h th i l k You must be doing *something* to achieve a goal, if you have no better ideas start with CMMI’s practices ideas, CMMI s practices. ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc.

Agile Concepts Opinion: The most “common” way is the worst way. The “path of least resistance” usually means you hit the wall faster faster.

Agile and CMMI can co-exist. co- But how? Extreme Extreme Optimized Optimized Core Core Agile Core Agile Principles CMMI Principles Principles ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ***PROPRIETARY*** 17-Jul-09 85

Agile Manifesto “We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. it Through this work we have come to value: individuals and interactions d d l d over processes and tools d l working software over comprehensive documentation customer collaboration over contract negotiation responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.” Underline emphasis added. ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ***PROPRIETARY*** 17-Jul-09 86

CMMI & Agile Be honest with the Manifesto and CMMI. Systems Engineering: Components of the system are necessarily sub-optimized to optimize the system. Allow the “balance” to be fluid and dynamic. dynamic Process design is a systems engineering exercise, NOT a compliance drill! p Optimization is context-driven. What’s the business reason for the process / improvement? Being fully committed to both Agility and Discipline requires being a learning organization, not pathologically box-checking one. h l i ll b h ki ®2009 Entinex, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ***PROPRIETARY*** 17-Jul-09 87

What about all the redundancies? Redundancies were necessary to facilitate the organic (continuous) growth. growth You are not required to be redundant. That would be antithetical to improvement! Ex. There doesn’t have to be a difference between how you validate requirements or work products for your products and services compared to how it’s done for work products of the project. ®2009 Entinex, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ***PROPRIETARY*** 17-Jul-09 88

Lean and TQM “Agile” is the result of applying “lean” concepts to software. software CMMI is the result of applying TQM concepts to systems and software development. TQM and “lean” came from the same source! ®2005-9 Entinex, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ***PROPRIETARY*** 17-Jul-09 89

Process Silos: NOT LEAN! PAs in a vacuum. PA1 PA2 Each PA is self-contained in SG1 SG1 it’s own silo. SP1.1 SP1.1 SP1.2 For each PA instance, SP1.m SP1.2 SP1.m p practices are planned, p SGq SGq performed to its plan. SPq.1 SPq.1 SPq.2 Can be implemented w/out SPq.n SPq.2 SPq.n affecting ‘real’ work. GG1 GG1 Adds layers of process GP1.1 GP1.1 GG2 overhead & paperwork. GP2.1 - 2.10 GG2 GP2.1 - 2.10 Makes app a se s jobs a es appraisers’ GG3 GG3 easier.
