I agree with Pat (1 more LA out of 420...) Whether or not email is acceptable direct evidence depends on the business context - how it is used, for what...
Juan, I’m going with Pat on this one. But let me also add some clarification and put forth another premise.. Is this even the right question? The SCAMPI...
Suyash, Sorry about the typo: The Productivity Index = [ P - (R - A)] / P x 100 % Where P = Planned hours (or BCWS) R = Result hours (or BCWP) A = Actual...
Bruno, When the values below are applied to your equation: "The Productivity Index = [ P – (R – E)] / P x 100 %" we get: = [8-(11-11)]/100 = [8-0]/100 = 8%...
make me one more lead appraiser "yes" with the previous caveats. I need to be able to tell what it was. I strongly recommend that the important emails me...
Hi Melih, Request your clarification for the Schedule Performance Index: SPI = EV/PV = 8/11 = about 0.75 or about 75% mentioned in your mail. I think it should...

Hi Sal 1. Could you please describe how to collect “Actual hours” and “Result hours” per each task? It seems to me that “Actual hours” is the same...

Hi, If my organisation is already a ISO certified or six sigma certified one, can i go directly to high maturity levels in CMMI like level 4&5 instead of level...
We are ISO 9001:2000 certified. We want to go for CMMI Ver 1.2 Level 4. Is it possible? Some say we need to go for level 3 and then only 4. regards Zul Jami...
In addition to what Jeff has already said before, would be that a criteria for breaking-down the requirements is to have, in the end, testable and veriafiable...
Yes you are right: I've been dealing with these stuff on and off for last 20 years, yet Bruno managed to confuse me with his parameter names and his equation:)...
Hello Quy, All information is collected through a time reporting system. Therefore, "Actual hours" is the number of hours people actual worked doing the task...
Hello Zul, Your organization can be appraised at any target level. It's not required to be at ML3 for going for ML4 although it is more logical to move one...
hi Can any one help that WHAT can/should be captured in progress reports for support projects as they have NO total effort estimation / WBS / schdule etc..... ...
Hello Kanni, SEI-CMMI is very specific and rightfully so, " one cannot skip maturity levels" Hence, you gruop will have to go through SCAMPI A for levels 2 ...
Hi mike This is not true. It is recommended that one assess at the early levels to make improvement incremental. But it is not required. You can assess L5 on ...
Hello Mike, You cannot skip levels in your process improvement effort, but you do not need a SCAMPI A for each level though. With version 1.2 it seems that is...
Michael, Actually, the CMMI is very specific that "Maturity levels SHOULD not be skipped." This by definition means they can be, although I would not...
Michael, You are correct that Kanni's organization would need to verify they are fulfilling the goals of the ML2 and ML3 process areas as well as the ML 4 ...
HI Jeff, I mean to say that we will not skip the level 2 & 3 in reaching level 5 but in one short 1-2 years of time we want to reach level 5 . We will...
Hi chalapathi It is not necessary to appraise at a lower level first. You can start appraising whenever you like. It just adds risk when you scope the...
I fully agree with Neil. My earlier advice to check progress using some technique other than a SCAMPI A will help to mitigate the risk but not eliminate it. ...
