The document discusses how agile methodologies like Scrum can be used to implement the goals and practices of the CMMI model. It presents an overview of Scrum and the BoldDelivery agile methodology. Specific agile ceremonies and artifacts like sprint planning, daily standups, and product backlogs are described. The document maps these agile elements to various process areas, generic goals, and specific goals of the CMMI model to demonstrate how agile can fulfill the "spirit" of CMMI through its flexible "form". It is concluded that agile and CMMI are compatible and that additional ceremonies or artifacts may be needed but implementing the model in an agile way can still be lightweight.

4. Purpose and Outcomes Purpose To understand CMMI as a reference model The “spirit” of successful product or service delivery To understand Agile as an approach to deliver a product or service: the “form” To understand how to apply Agile form to the CMMI spirit Outcomes To be able to identify the key ceremonies and artifacts of the BoldDelivery and Scrum methodologies To recognize how Agile ceremonies and artifacts can be used to satisfy CMMI generic goals/practices and specific goals/practices To provide a foundation for further (self-driven) mapping

5. CMMI and Agile - Addressing Misconceptions CMMI Heavyweight Process Plan Driven (not flexible) Focus on Process and Specification Agile Unstructured and unmeasured No defined organizational standard Success relies on people (high risk) Less control (Less measurement) Suitable ONLY for SMALL projects CMMI Heavyweight process not “required” Flexible, iterative processes can be applied Focus on delivery through formal, measured process Agile Ceremonies/Artifacts provide Structure/Measure BoldDelivery/Scrum are well defined Success relies on people and process Measured and focused Proven to work across a range of project sizes CMMI is a model, not a process standard As a model CMMI defines the “Spirit” for effectively delivering products or services How we actually perform the process -- the “Form” -- is up to us, and Agile is very good approach.

15. Conclusions Agile and CMMI are compatible CMMI provides the “spirit”, the concept Agile provides the “form”, the implementation Although we focused on only a few ceremonies and artifacts, we are able to cover a great deal of ground. The “form” can be lightweight! There are still some gaps when trying to apply Agile methodologies “out of the box”. Additional ceremonies or artifacts may be required, but that’s OK.
