Hassan, I would suggest that you gather "gap analysis" data on TWO dimensions for each CMMI practice being evaluated. The first is the pervasiveness of the...
Hi Murali, Although you are right that "if your defined process does not meet the requirements of the model, obviously your practices which are based on your ...
Rizwan, I'll take a shot at this, but others should feel free to jump in where I may have screwed up... 1. Is there an Integrated SCAMPI for all three...
Dear Hassan, You have been asking a lot of questions lately about fundamental project management concepts, not necessarily with the CMMI. As a best practice ...
Dear Rizwan, First off, you should hire an SEI-certified Lead Appraiser, preferably in all three constellations, to provide you the proper advice as to which ...
Just to add to Henry's reply, the SOW is the high level statement of what work is to be performed. This should NOT be confused with a more traditional...

I've personally found it useful, not from a "you must be CMMI ML X" perspective, but from a risk perspective. The guidebook that goes into detail on the risk...

Hi Cristina, At the risk of beating an old drum, first there is no certification of Maturity Levels. An organization is appraised by an SEI-certified Lead ...
