CMMI® for Recession
Organisations on a CMMI® journey have, up until recently, typically focused on achievement of a target Maturity Level, e.g. Maturity Level 2. When money was relatively plentiful, process improvement leads were able to count on sizable budgets to achieve their process improvement goals without too many questions being asked about whether all this spend actually achieved real business benefits.
In these challenging times of shrinking budgets and limited resources, a Maturity Level target may suddenly seem unachievable, whilst in many organisations process improvement leads find that they are under pressure to demonstrate direct alignment of their improvement programmes with the specific needs of the business.
So where do we go from here? The solution to this problem has actually been available in the CMMI® model all along: the Continuous Representation.
But the hard part about using the Continuous Representation is deciding the target profiles that support the specific business objectives. How do you know which process areas to include? Should you target the same Capability Level in each process area? If not, how do you know which Capability Levels to target?
In this presentation we will take three typical business situations and show how a Capability Profile can be established (built up) that directly supports the organisation’s business goals, thus ensuring that the process improvement programme is focused on achieving maximum, measurable benefits, without wasting precious resources on areas where the returns are marginal.
