Deming point No. 11 itself has the answer. It says "Eliminate numerical goals (for Management and Workforce)", whereas CMMI L4 says "Set goals for process and...
Pat, all, you mention a few very key aspects around productivity measurement and improvement, which I would like to enhance and emphasize in few bullets 1)...
Hello, quite all Agile Methodologies were developed from the Developers' viewpoint (i.e. CP - Chief Programmer) and are poor in the Planning & Estimation ...
Chris, possible source of information could be the ISO/IEC 9126-x series (Parts 2-3-4), related to the External-Internal-Quality in Use Metrics for a Software...
While we're on the subject... We're all familiar with the case studies showing the benefits of progressing from ML1 to ML2 (and beyond). (Anyone not familiar...
Luigi, Thanks for your post. While I agree that the “first wave” of Agile methods was developed “from the developer’s viewpoint,” or put another way,...
Bruce, As you know, when you say "ML2" you are talking about a prescribed set of process areas. However, when you way "CL0," "CL1," or "CL<x>" for that...

thx Mahesh.....It will be great if you can also share some metric collection sheet. I mean what should be the sources of data to get these metrics....any...
Good points, Luigi, and thanks for you attention! FDD, as I define it, is a meta-process that has only two parts: 1) Think a little bit before doing (the...
Hi Jeff, sorry if I've used wrong words in English, but in order to be 'productive' on this interesting thread we should come back to the original question by ...
Some ideas to kick around - To try some examples - The goal of Christopher Columbus was to get to China. Productivity for the voyage was measured by his speed....

Hi all! Moving towards level 3 ML, I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to include GP 3.1 and 3.2 in our process (OT, OPF, OPD). In the CMMI for...
Luigi, Thanks for your post. Don't worry about the English. I've lived here all of my life and my wife, and English professor, tells me I don't speak it well...
Jeff, Luigi: indeed productivity is about valuation of the output. see my earlier reply to below discussion, where I emphasized the value from the eyes of the...
Before some other smarty points it out - Columbus thought he could sail to India, not China, and save the overland journey. Hence the American Indian...

Hi there well the Verification process area's subpractice under SP 1.2 is given in CMMI v1.2 as: "Identify verification resources that are available for reuse...
Jeff, Again, I think the point is that one measure will not tell the whole story. Personally, I don't think we want to cloud "productivity" with "value."...
Dave, I don't feel comfortable with your analogies. Productivity is a measure of building stuff, not of going somewhere - whether by sea (Columbus), plane...
Paul, For ML3, GG3 is a required component for the staged representation. GP3.1 and GP3.2 are expected components, although I'd be hard pressed to understand...
The model is suggesting you look for existing test cases, scripts, procedures etc., from other verification exercises, that you may be able to modify and...
Pat, Thanks for your response. Since I work and specialize in the automotive sector, I feel compelled to point out, in support of my comments that if the plant...
" Also, in my productivity definition I included the qualifier that the decisions that counted were those that advanced towards the goal." Well said. That's...
Amir, You are correct in listing "available resources" as including SW/HW/Human. This underscores the "less than obvious" fact that "resources" are more than ...
