Hi Orhan, It seems you miss a major point in the CMMI. The order of process areas in the staged model is not the order in which to perform the PA's, but the...

Andre, My English should be so bad. I am saying the same thing with you. What I am trying to say is that let us make it explicit: Eng PAs should be in all...
Hi Pat, Customer or end user should be involved but wouldn't be good if we would provide them with a prototype or stimulation that they can put it in the...
Sorry for the confusion. What I was trying to say is going from ML2 to ML3 may require some organizations to jump from CL0 or CL1 to CL3 in some Eng PAs. ...
Hi Hillel, I fully agree with you that most of us have the same intention. Intention of correct interpretation of the CMMI but we know that too many people...
If the involvement is the key, can someone explain how does IV&V (Independent Ver & Val without customer's involement?) work? Frank 2008/12/1 Patrick OToole...
Orhan, I find it VERY hard to reconcile your various posts. On the one hand, in your latest post in this thread, you say, "...wouldn't be good if we would...
Orhan, A car manufacturer is considering a new feature to reduce the number of highway collisions based on lane changes that result in accidents involving a...

Dear Paul, Are you knowledgeable about Deming's 14 points? Furthermore are you able to describe the contradictions among them? Finally, are you able to explain...
Hi Orhan, Yes. No. No. No. Yes. The point of my brief comment was that I feel dizzy reading your threads. No offense, just the effect I am getting. Maybe I am...
Jeff, As you wish :)) Let me start educating you on 14 points of Deming. Our training will be based on assignments. So your first assignment is: . Take a pen...
