Dear all, Could anyone provide me with any template for PIID Collection for version 1.2, or at least tell me where I can get this? Kind Regards! Jimena...
Pat - Good additions to the list of stuff one might need for the verification environment. Although we might be creeping into the "validation" space a bit...
Hi Heather, Thanks, I agree with you as the peer review environment is usually a conference room, most organizations struggle with defining it in SP 1.2. Henry...
Dear colleagues, I ran across this little brain-twister while conversing with a fellow LA the other day - your opinions are appreciated. If a company is...
Ribhu, Actually, I was talking about both. One of my "rules of thumb" for determining the distinction between VER and VAL revolves around the roles involved...
Hello Ribhu Production support projects should be able to apply CMMI-DEV as well as any other projects. They key to the application is that you are organized...
Hi Sandeep It seems to me that you are approaching this the wrong way. You should NOT be interested in proving that something is an innovation (presumably to...

Hi Jeff, What they should have done in my view, is to create a project plan that covers their contract (so: managing the plan). That is their project, which...

Hi, The question I posed is coming back to haunt us: "Does an organization need to also show ability in order to satisfy a practice - one practice or n...
Andre, I agree. Though they DO have such a plan – it’s just not the plan they are managing! So it’s a bit more complex than that. Best Regards, Jeff ...
Hi Jeff, What an interesting question to present to this group! I have run across this situation in the past with legacy projects that have been transferred ...
Pat, But as an alternative you can create master plans for the overall maintenance org. and add those 4-hour tickets as line items to the masters. Generally,...
Ahhh . . . all great comments for "traditional" development. But both the "conference room" environment and Pat's "rules of thumb" for differentiating VAL and...
Hi Pat, You are so right. But since these facilities in large companies are usually set up and maintained by a group outside of the organization implementing ...

Rob, Never known you to be either! I didn't see you at SEPG - is D&T working you that hard these days? I came to the same conclusion. Best Regards, Jeff Jeff...
