Hello group, how are you today? Peter, thank you very much for the message. I was expecting Heather will explain "why skipping ML2 is counterproductive" but...
Friends Without going academic long discussions into sated words & interpretation thereof, don't we see the reality the Project Life cycle does have well ...
Hello Ralf, I just looked up the errata sheet and it does mention project, project startup and service. It does mention few other important items that were ...
Paramesh, It sounds like you're describing the effort to develop and deploy a process product, not the "overhead" that is incurred when one uses the product on...
Wow this is interesting. When I looked at the upgrade training material there is the same definition without end (module 2 page 45 "Revised Definitions 9")....
Heather, It has already been written and submitted (to the SEI anyway - I'll pass it along to Mary Beth Chrissis directly as well as to Peter Gordon at Addison...
Orhan, Goyal makes a good point that a ML3 Appraisal includes all of the PA's for ML2, so there really is no "skipping." There is no sense in debating that ...
Hi All, There are different defect removal/detection techniques; however, after the activity – how to decide which defect should be resolved first? And what...
Quite often organizations already ISO-certified also get CMMI L5 (in steps e.g. first L3 and then L5) recognition without much of problem and maintain both...
Dear Orhan Without entering into lengthy discussions may I mention: - Measure about process being counterproductive is not easy. It may also be one's own view...
Steve, Your (correct) assertion that a chess Grand Master only looks at a limited number of the possible moves reminds me of an article I read in Scientific...
Actually understanding & practical interpretation of CMMI-framework costs only efforts (better by organization's own people to ensure correct interpretation &...
Andre/Steve, I'd take it one step farther. I'd say that after you use the DAR process to assist in making the decision, you really ought to step back and...
Well, let me add my two cents to the discussion. I assume that when you say skipping maturity levels, you mean skipping the spirit of a maturity level. In...
Andre, I see your point. My proposal for this situation can be: 1) At this level (ML2 or CL2) make process descriptions really simple. Just verification...
Hello Kiril, Thanks for this hint. I had looked at the errata sheet on the SEI web site which refers to the TR, and therefore could not find the item you...
I'm very hesitant to re-enter this discussion, other than to say that in my experience you aren't skipping anything. You still have to accomplish ML2 if you...
I was having a debate with a consultant who was trying to implement PMO in an organization based on PMI Standards, though the company is already CMMI...
Ah, I think I'm finally getting a handle on this discussion. It seems to me there are two concurrent thought streams running through this dialogue (or at...
Goyal, hello, how are you? Ok. Let me follow your process: - Measuring progress, productivity and counter productivity is not easy. But we know it. There...
Hi Pat, I fully agree, Andre. ... Re: [CMMi Process Improvement] Creative use of DAR Hi Pat, I fully agree, Andre. On 01-05-2007 01:17, "Patrick OToole"...
Jeff/Paramesh, Can we agree that "investment" might be a better word than "overhead?" I don't think it diminishes the intent of Paramesh's research, and I...
Sure, just after posting this message about intuition I sat down to read the book, "Measuring the Software Process" by Florac and Carleton. The very first...
Orhan, Nice try, but: 1. Very simple process descriptions probably donÂąt add any value. In that case everybody can still do whatever s/he likes, so that is...
dear pat thankyou for the great clarification ... === message truncated === __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?...
Greetings Adnan, It takes some broad thinking to apply CMMI towards improving the "setting up" of a PMO. Your question actually mentions two ideas that are not...
