Divya, Here is the information from SCAMPI MDD V 1.2, Section 1.3.2 Select Team Members: All team members must have previously completed the SEI-licensed ...
Hi Nandagopal, Answer to your question depends on what you mean by "comfortable with CMMI" and "implementation". First of all, CMMI cannot guarantee zero...
Gary, Good point! Unfortunately, the lead appraiser-issued certificates are often misinterpreted as the SEI's stamp of approval thereby "certifying" the...
Hi Yuttana, These are the typical risk response strategies. Here are some examples for each category: WATCH: Keeping watch on kids when they are playing. ...
Hi all, I give out these certificates as well. I typically put this statement on it "a CMMI level loses its value when no more improvements are made" in an...
Hi Jeyabalaji, In my view within CMMI and other process improvement contexts "rework" typically marks activities that are performed because some preceding ...
hi there can anybody please explain me what is the major difference between SG 2 Perform Peer Review and SG 3 Verify Selected Workproducts? As during peer...
Kiril, I agree with everything you said, but would it extend it to encompass anything for which the errant work was the proximate cause. For example, if you...
Hi all I have a question about milestones: I need to know if it is necesary to review the quality criteria of deliverables in this kind of reviews. If so,...
Not to throw a wrench in this excellent thread, and in Pat's sage advice, but the comments thus far have been decidedly "waterfall." In a waterfall world we...
Hi There, I am new with PROJECT MANAGEMENT. What benefits i will have with CMMI? What its actual use ? It would be great if someone can guide me on this...
Sean, The CMMI focuses 6 of its 22 process areas on Project Management concerns. The model includes good practices that other organizations have found make...
Sean, First of all, welcome to the board! There is a lot of good information to be had here. You can learn more about CMMI and its value from the SEI's web...
I don't think there is a conflict here, but there is a difference. Rework that you plan for should not count against you. Rework that is not expected or...
Monica, I have seen both methods applied - milestone reviews and PPQA processes are performed concurrently, and also where they are separate. The concurrent ...
Monica, Only if it's necessary for YOU to review the quality criteria! There is nothing in PMC SP1.7 that suggests that quality criteria be included, but it...

Jeff, It would seem that we may be quibbling over terminology rather than concepts. After I sent my first post, I continued to ponder Pat's statement and I...
Jeff, On the other hand... If we accept that "one of the basic premises in Agile methods is that a 'low level of rework is expected and encouraged'" then there...
Samia, Unless I'm mistaken, I think this book was published early 2006 (I lent out my copy so I can't verify the copyright date). I'd be a bit surprised if...
