CMMI Gap Assessment & Organizational Complexity Assessment

| SES performs CMMI® assessments to determine
the specific tasks required to assist organizations achieve the best results.
We have developed our own assessment/gap
analysis methodology that has evolved over time, based on lessons learned from
previous process improvement efforts with both SW-CMM® and CMMI-DEV®. It has
evolved into a well-defined process for evaluating where an organization stands
in relation to the CMMI® defined criteria.

CMMI Appraisal Services (SCAMPI Class A, B, and C Appraisal Services)
|
| A CMMI process appraisal is an objective
evaluation of an organization's software or systems development capability.
SES has Software Engineering Institute (SEI) authorized staff to perform SCAMPI A, B,
and C Appraisals for CMMI®. Our consultants are among the most experienced Lead Appraisers and have been
providing SEI appraisal services for long time. As an SEI Partner, we offer
a full range of process appraisal services - from formal benchmark appraisals
to brief, informal assessments - and are certified by the SEI to conduct SCAMPI
High Maturity Appraisals (Maturity Levels 4 & 5).
|
|
SCAMPI Class - A Appraisal
|
| A SCAMPI A appraisal is typically conducted
when an organization has implemented a number of significant process improvements
and needs to formally benchmark its processes relative to the CMMI. A SCAMPI A is
the only appraisal method that provides CMMI Maturity Level or Capability Level
ratings.
|
|
SCAMPI Class - B Appraisal
|
| A SCAMPI B is called for when an organization
needs to assess its progress towards a target CMMI Maturity or Capability Level, but at a lower
cost than a SCAMPI A. SCAMPI B appraisals provide detailed findings and indicate
the likelihood that the evaluated practices would be rated as satisfactorily
implemented in a SCAMPI A appraisal. The SCAMPI B essentially serves as a readiness dry-run for
the SCAMPI A Appraisal.
|
|
SCAMPI Class - C Appraisal
|
| SCAMPI C appraisals are shorter, less formal and
more flexible than SCAMPI A and B appraisals and are conducted to address a variety
of special needs, from a quick gap analysis to determining an organization's
readiness for a SCAMPI B or A.
|
|
Appraisal Requirements for CMMI (ARC) Appraisals
|
| Similar to the SCAMPI Class A, B, & C appraisals
as mentioned above, however, it is not a required to report results back to the SEI.
ARC appraisals provide more tailoring flexibility to the organization being appraised.
ARC appraisals comply with the implementation methodology using an ARC-compliant method.
