CMMI can be used for process improvement within a project,or an organization.

Under the CMMI processes are rated according to their maturity level.

1.What is staged and continuous models in CMMI?

Staged models in CMMI, specialize in method improvement, mistreatment stages or maturity
levels. In staged illustration every method space has one specific goal. In software engineering,
Staged models in CMMI is used to define an improvement path for an organisation using
different set of predefined process areas. It has five maturity levels.
Continuous model in CMMI follow a suggested order for approaching method improvement at
intervals every such method space. It permits the user to pick the order of improvement that best
meets the organizations business objectives. Continuous illustration has six capability levels.
2.Explain capability levels in continuous illustration.
There are six capability levels for Continuous representation:

Level 0: Not performed

Level 1: Performed

Level 2: Managed

Level 3: defined

Level 4: Quantitatively managed

Level 5: Optimizing

Each level has method areas. every method space has specific goals to attain. These
processes are unceasingly improved to attain the goals in a very suggested order.
3. Explain the various method space in CMMI.
The following are the various method areas in CMMI:
1. Initial Process: This method involves in computer code configuration
management, computer code quality assurance, computer code subcontract
management, computer code project following and oversight, computer
code project designing and needs management.
2. Outlined Process: This method involves in peer reviews, inter group
coordination, software package engineering, integrated computer

code management, educational program, organization method definition,

organization method focus.
3. Managed Process: This method involves in computer code quality management,
quantitative method management
4. Optimizing Method: Process amendment management,
technology amendment management, and defect hindrance
4.Explain the various Models in CMMI.
Different CMMI models are:

CMMI for Development: Describes Product and repair for development processes. A
company typically doesnt build everything it desires for build a product. It builds
some components and acquires some to make a product. CMMI for development includes
processes to manage this. It additionally includes best practices that address
development method.

CMMI for Acquisition: Describe Product and repair acquisition processes. It defines
processes that give steerage to acquisition organizations for managing acquisitions
of merchandise and services. It enlists the processes required for acquisitions and
integrates varied information bodies that are required.

CMMI for Services: Describe Service institution, management, and delivery processes.
Includes guides to scale back prices, improve quality and foregone conclusion. Guides
organizations to outline what services they must be providing, outline standards, let the
planet fathom them.

5.What are Capability Levels in Continuous Representation? make a case for them.
Capability levels are relevant to organizations method improvement in specific areas. Capability
levels in Continuous representations:

Level 0 Incomplete: It depicts associate incomplete method that doesnt implement all
Capability level 1 processes and practices.

Level 1 Performed: Method that implements all Capability level 1 processes and
practices. Some work may be done even supposing major
objectives like performance arent achieved.

Level 2 Managed: they are processes that are planned, managed, performed, monitored,
and controlled for specific comes to attain specific goals.

Level 3 Defined: Its a tailored set of normal and managed method for a company. The
processes are tailored a little as per the organizations profit.

Level 4 Quantitatively managed: its an outlined method thats managed and

controlled mistreatment applied mathematics and quantitative ways.

Level 5 Optimizing: Its a quantitatively managed and improved method that relies upon
common roots and causes of method variation. Focus is on rising performance of the
method mistreatment progressive and innovative ways.

6.What are Maturity Levels in Staged Representation? Make a case for them.
The Staged illustration is one amongst the approaches utilized in computer code CMM. This
approach utilizes the predefined sets of method areas for outlining associate improvement path
for associate enterprise and therefore the improvement path is delineate by a
model element known as a Maturity Level.
CMMI Staged illustration provides a proved sequence of enhancements, every of that is a
foundation for succeeding. The comparisons across enterprises by mistreatment the maturity
levels are permissible. The staged illustration provides migration from SW-CMM to CMMI. It
provides a classification system that summarizes the results of appraisal. The
Staged illustration provides a well pre-defined roadmap the development of
organizations that are supported proved grouping and ordering of processes
7.How is Appraisal wiped out CMMI?
The CMMI assessments are supported dish assessment ways which give a report on the
method improvement efforts. To assess the appraisals, licensed Lead Appraisers, licensed High
Maturity Lead Appraisers for closing CMMI dish assessments are provided to the organizations.
The CMMI dish Appraisal is depended upon the necessity of organization
as known whereas focusing structure method.
The dish appraisal designing method is disbursed in compliance to SEI Methodology that covers
the aspects

Base-lining of Appraisal Objectives with Appraisal Sponsor

Mapping of Appraisal Objectives with structure Objectives

Determination of Focus comes

Determination of structure illustration (Sampling) on Project basis and People-basis

Appraisal Resources and Appraisal Team Strategy

Planning of Appraisal Schedule

Appraisal Output Determination

Appraisal Constraints Determination

Appraisal Risk Management

8.What is the distinction between verification and validation?

In CMMI, these ideas are separated into 2 method areas to worry that each ought
to be enclosed in development activities. each are applicable throughout the event lifecycle.
The distinction between the 2 may be seen within the purpose of the check or activity.
Verification ensures that you simply are building a product per its needs, specifications, and
standards. For Verification, you ought to raise the subsequent questions:

Are you meeting the required requirements?

Are you building the merchandise right?

Validation ensures that your product are usable once its in its meant setting. For
Validation, you ought to raise the subsequent questions.

Are you meeting the operational need?

Does this product meet its meant use within the meant environment?

Are you building the proper product?

9.How CMMI associated with acquisition reform?

CMMI for Acquisition directly addresses the objectives of acquisition reform. Further, CMMI
Product Suite objectives are according to the tenets of acquisition reform. CMMI
emphasizes associate integrated systems read, that is
additionally emphasised in varied acquisition reform initiatives. The thought of performancebased acquisition is additionally mirrored within the CMMI thought. CMMI
enhances associate organizations ability to manage risk and improve internal
processes, each of that are integral to acquisition reform.
10.What do CMMI models are in common?
All CMMI models share a similar

Architecture

All CMMI models have 3 parts: associate introduction, the method areas and generic
goals and practices, and therefore the appendices. All CMMI models contain
multiple method areas that every have a purpose statement, one or additional goals, and

multiple specific practices. All of them have generic goals and practices that apply to all
or any method areas. These are the foremost outstanding similarities, however you
may see others furthermore.

Core Method Areas : All CMMI models share sixteen core method areas.
These method areas are tailored for every model, however contain primarily a
similar info in every.

1. What is CMMI and what's the advantage of implementing it in an organization?

CMMI stands for Capability Maturity Model Integration. It is a process improvement

approach that provides companies with the essential elements of an effective process.
CMMI can serve as a good guide for process improvement across a project, organization,
or division.
CMMI was formed by using multiple previous CMM processes.
The following are the areas which CMMI addresses:

Systems engineering: This covers development of total systems. System engineers

concentrate on converting customer needs to product solutions and supports them
throughout the product lifecycle.
Software engineering: Software engineers concentrate on the application of systematic,
disciplined, and quantifiable approaches to the development, operation, and maintenance
of software.
Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD): Integrated Product and Process
Development (IPPD) is a systematic approach that achieves a timely collaboration of
relevant stakeholders throughout the life of the product to better satisfy customer needs,
expectations, and requirements. This section mostly concentrates on the integration part
of the project for different processes. For instance, it's possible that your project is using
services of some other third party component. In such situations the integration is a big
task itself, and if approached in a systematic manner, can be handled with ease.

Software acquisition: Many times an organization has to acquire products from other
organizations. Acquisition is itself a big step for any organization and if not handled in a
proper manner means a disaster is sure to happen.

2. What's the difference between implementation and institutionalization?

Both of these concepts are important while implementing a process in any organization.
Any new process implemented has to go through these two phases.

Implementation: It is just performing a task within a process area. A task is performed

according to a process but actions performed to complete the process are not ingrained in
the organization. That means the process involved is done according to the individual
point of view. When an organization starts to implement any process it first starts at this
phase, i.e., implementation, and then when this process looks good it is raised to the
organization level so that it can be implemented across organizations.
Institutionalization: Institutionalization is the output of implementing the process again
and again. The difference between implementation and institutionalization is in
implementation if the person who implemented the process leaves the company the
process is not followed, but if the process is institutionalized then even if the person
leaves the organization, the process is still followed.

3. Can you explain the different maturity levels in a staged representation?

There are five maturity levels in a staged representation as shown in the following figure.
Maturity Level 1 (Initial): In this level everything is adhoc. Development is completely
chaotic with budget and schedules often exceeded. In this scenario we can never predict
quality.
Maturity Level 2 (Managed): In the managed level basic project management is in

place. But the basic project management and practices are followed only in the project
level.
Maturity Level 3 (Defined): To reach this level the organization should have already
achieved level 2. In the previous level the good practices and process were only done at
the project level. But in this level all these good practices and processes are brought to
the organization level. There are set and standard practices defined at the organization
level which every project should follow. Maturity Level 3 moves ahead with defining a
strong, meaningful, organizational approach to developing products. An important
distinction between Maturity Levels 2 and 3 is that at Level 3, processes are described in
more detail and more rigorously than at Level 2 and are at an organization level.
Maturity Level 4 (Quantitatively measured): To start with, this level of organization
should have already achieved Level 2 and Level 3. In this level, more statistics come into
the picture. Organization controls the project by statistical and other quantitative
techniques. Product quality, process performance, and service quality are understood in
statistical terms and are managed throughout the life of the processes. Maturity Level 4
concentrates on using metrics to make decisions and to truly measure whether progress is
happening and the product is becoming better. The main difference between Levels 3 and
4 are that at Level 3, processes are qualitatively predictable. At Level 4, processes are
quantitatively predictable. Level 4 addresses causes of process variation and takes
corrective action.
Maturity Level 5 (Optimized): The organization has achieved goals of maturity levels
2, 3, and 4. In this level, processes are continually improved based on an understanding
of common causes of variation within the processes. This is like the final level; everyone
on the team is a productive member, defects are minimized, and products are delivered on
time and within the budget boundary.

The following figure shows, in detail, all the maturity levels in a pictorial fashion.

4. What are the different models in CMMI?

There are two models in CMMI. The first is "staged" in which the maturity level
organizes the process areas.
The second is "continuous" in which the capability level organizes the process area.

5. How is appraisal done in CMMI?

SCAMPI stands for Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement.
SCAMPI is an assessment process used to get CMMI certified for an organization.
There are three classes of CMMI appraisal methods: Class A, Class B, and Class C. Class
A is the most aggressive, while Class B is less aggressive, and Class C is the least
aggressive.

Let's discuss these appraisal methods in more detail.

Class A: This is the only method that can provide a rating and get you a CMMI
certificate. It requires all three sources of data instruments, interviews, and documents.
Class B: This class requires only two sources of data (interviews and either documents or
instruments). But please note you do not get rated with Class B appraisals. Class B is just
a warm-up to see if an organization is ready for Class A. With less verification the
appraisal takes less time. In this class data sufficiency and draft presentations are
optional.

Class C: This class requires only one source of data (interviews, instruments, or
documents). Team consensus, validation, observation, data sufficiency, and draft
presentation are optional.
6. Which appraisal method class is best?
Normally, organizations use a mix of the classes to achieve process improvement. The
following are some of the strategies which an organization uses:
First Strategy: Use Class B to initiate a process improvement plan, after that apply Class
C to check readiness for Class B or Class A. The following diagram shows this strategy.

Second Strategy: Class C appraisal is used on a subset of an organization. From this we

get an aggregation of weakness across the organization. From this we can prepare a
process improvement plan. We can then apply a Class B appraisal to see if we are ready

for Class A appraisal. The following diagram shows the strategy.

Third Strategy: Class A is used to initiate an organization level process. The process
improvement plan is based on an identified weakness. Class B appraisal should be
performed after six months to see the readiness for the second Class A appraisal rating.
The following diagram shows this strategy.

7. What different sources are needed to verify authenticity for CMMI implementation?

There are three different sources from which an appraiser can verify that an organization
followed the process or not.

Instruments: An instrument is a survey or questionnaire provided to the organization,

project, or individuals before starting the assessment so that beforehand the appraiser
knows some basic details of the project.
Interview: An interview is a formal meeting between one or more members of the
organization in which they are asked some questions and the appraiser makes some
judgments based on those interviews. During the interview the member represents some
process area or role which he performs. For instance, the appraiser may interview a tester
or programmer asking him indirectly what metrics he has submitted to his project
manager. By this the appraiser gets a fair idea of CMMI implementation in that
organization.
Documents: A document is a written work or product which serves as evidence that a
process is followed. It can be hard copy, Word document, email, or any type of written
official proof.

The following figure is the pictorial view of the sources used to verify how compliant the
organization is with CMMI.
8. Which model should we use and under what scenarios?
Staging defines an organization process implementation sequence. So staging is a
sequence of targeted process areas that describe a path of process improvement the
organization will take. For instance, you cannot do your project planning (Level 2) if you
have not done requirements management (Level 2). While in the continuous model you
select certain process areas even if they're linked with other process areas and mature
there.
So when your organization should only concentrate on specific process areas you will
likely go for the continuous model. But if you want your organization to have a specific
plan and to achieve not only the specific process but also any interlinked process within
that process area you should go for the continuous model.
9. Can you explain capability levels in a continuous representation?
The continuous model is the same as the staged model only that the arrangement is a bit
different. The continuous representation/model concentrates on the action or task to be
completed within a process area. It focuses on maturing the organizations ability to

perform, control, and improve the performance in that specific performance area.

Capability Level 0 Incomplete: This level means that any generic or specific practice of
capability level 1 is not performed.
Capability Level 1: Performed: The capability level 1 process is expected to perform
all capability level 1 specific and generic practices for that process area. In this level
performance may not be stable and probably does not meet objectives such as quality,
cost, and schedule, but still the task can be done.
Capability Level 2: Managed: Capability level 2 is a managed process planned
properly, performed, monitored, and controlled to achieve a given purpose. Because the
process is managed we achieve other objectives, such as cost, schedule, and quality.
Because you are managing, certain metrics are consistently collected and applied to your
management approach.
Capability Level 3: Defined: The defined process is a managed process that is tailored
from an organization standard. Tailoring is done by justification and documentation
guidelines. For instance your organization may have a standard that we should get an
invoice from every supplier. But if the supplier is not able to supply the invoice then he
should sign an agreement in place of the invoice. So here the invoice standard is not
followed but the deviation is under control.
Capability Level 4: Quantitatively Managed: The quantitatively managed process is a
defined process which is controlled through statistical and quantitative information. So
from defect tracking to project schedules all are statistically tracked and measured for
that process.
Capability Level 5: Optimizing: The optimizing process is a quantitatively managed
process where we increase process performance through incremental and innovative
improvements.
Continuous representation is the same as staged only that information is arranged in a

different fashion. The biggest difference is one concentrates on a specific process while
the other brings a group of processes to a certain maturity level.

Explain capability levels in continous representation - March 02, 2010 at 04:50 am by Vidya Sagar

Explain capability levels in continous representation.

In CMMI models there are six capability levels which are designated by the digits from 0
to 5
Capability Level 0: Incomplete
It is a process which is not performed fully or partially. One or more specific goals of the
process area would not be satisfied and generic goals do not exist for this level.
Capability Level 1: Performed
This level is expected for performing all the level specific practices. Stable or non-met
specific objectives such as quality, cost, and schedule may not be performed well, but the
work done is useful. Something is done but could not prove that it will really work for.
Capability Level 2: Managed
It is a process which is planned, performed, monitored and controlled for individual
projects or groups or could be stand-alone processes for achieving a given need. Both the
model objectives for the process and other related objectives like cost, schedule and
quality are managed in this process. The things that are to be managed in an enterprise are
managed actively in this level. There are certain metrics which are to be collected
consistently and applied for management approach.
Capability Level 3: Defined
This process is characterized as a well defined process. It is referred as a managed
process which is tailored for the standards of the organization as per the tailoring
guidelines of the organization and the work products, measures and other process related
improvement information are contributed.
Capability Level 4: Quantitatively Managed
This process is defined as a process which is properly controlled using statistical and
other quantitative techniques. Quality and process performance are established and
utilized as the major criteria in process management. The quality of process performance
is estimated in statistical terms. This quality is managed throughout the process life cycle.
Capability Level 5: Optimizing
It is a quantitatively managed process which is improved that is based on an
understanding the process variation inherent cause in the process. The focus is on
continually improving the performance of the process by both incremental and innovative
improvements. The target of these processes is activities improvement..

What is SCAMPI process?

SCAMPI stands for Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement. Bench
mark quality ratings are provided by it which is relative to Capability Maturity Model
Integration models. Wide range of appraisal usage models are utilized by applying
SCAMPI process, including internal process improvement and external capability

determinations. All of the Appraisal Requirements for CMMI (ARC) requirements for a
Class A appraisal method is satisfied by SCAMPI and it supports the assessment conduct
of ISO/IEC 15504.

What is the importance of PII in SCAMPI?

The Practice Implementation Indicators is based on the fundamental idea of the
assumption that the performance of an activity or the implementation of a practice will
always results in footprints those are attributable to the activity or the practice.

Explain the different Process Area in CMMI.

The following are the different process areas in CMMI:
1. Initial Process: This process involves in software configuration management, software
quality assurance, software subcontract management, software project tracking and
oversight, software project planning and requirements management.
2. Defined Process: This process involves in peer reviews, intergroup coordination,
software product engineering, integrated software management, training program,
organization process definition, organization process focus.
3. Managed Process: This process involves in software quality management, quantitative
process management
4. Optimizing Process: Process change management, technology change management,
and defect prevention

What is CMMI? Explain the advantages of implementing CMMI.

Capability maturity model integration is a process improvement approach for
organizations to comply and maintain quality and process improvement. It helps
organizations to integrate separate functions, set goals and priorities, provide guidance,
and assess current processes.
Advantages of implementing CMMI:
a. Detailed coverage of the product life cycle than other process-improvement products
used alone.
b. CMMI provides an opportunity to eliminate the stovepipes and barriers that typically
exist in different parts of an organization and that typically are not addressed otherwise
c. CMMI products incorporate lessons learnt that were learnt as a result of many other
standard processes. Therefore they inherently, handle some of the common problems
faced by other process improvement approaches.
d. Promotes collaboration between systems and software engineering.
e. Allows users to choose model representation that best suits them and their objectives.

Explain the different Models in CMMI

The models in CMMI are:

Product and service development (CMMI for Development model)

Service establishment, management, and delivery (CMMI for Services model)

Product and service acquisition (CMMI for Acquisition model)

Development Model: It is inevitable to reach the quality product or service to customer on time.
Using CMMI-DEV model, could help enterprises achieve product delivery on-time with high
quality, especially the service relies heavily on software. This model is a collection of best
practices which an organization follows for dramatically improvement of effectiveness,
efficiency and quality of the product.
The benefits that are experienced by the organizations using CMMI-DEV are:

Better customer satisfaction

Increased quality

More accurate schedules

Lower development costs

Substantial return on investment

Improved employee morale and reduced turnover

Services Model: CMMI-SVC is a guide for helping service provider organizations to reduce
costs, improve quality and improvement of predictability of schedules. The service providers
deserve the development community enjoyed opportunities for years. The service providers are
based on community models by practice deserves the opportunity to improve the processes.
CMMI-SVC provides best practices to

Decide the services providing, define services standards

Ensure that they obtain the elements to deliver a quality service,

consumables and equipment.

Place the new systems in locations, change the existing systems, and retire
obsolete systems.

Handle the elements that goes wrong for preventing from moving wrong in
the first place

Acquisition Model: CMMI-ACQ is a best practice model which helps to improve relationships
with the suppliers by helping improvisation of own processes. The project control can be
increased, global sourcing of products could be better managed, and acquire the solutions which
meet the needs of organization. This model is based on CMMI framework, and has 22 process
areas, out of which six are acquisition practices specific and sixteen are shared among other
CMMI models.
The six process areas that are specific to acquisition practices are

Acquisition Requirements Development (ARD)

Solicitation and Supplier Agreement Development (SSAD)

Agreement Management (AM)

Acquisition Technical Management (ATM)

Acquisition Verification (AVER)

Acquisition Validation (AVAL)

Explain the different Models in CMMI.

Different CMMI models are:

CMMI for Development: Describes Product and service for development processes. An
organization usually does not build everything it needs for build a product. It builds some
elements and acquires some to build a product. CMMI for development includes processes to
manage this. It also includes best practices that address development process.
CMMI for Acquisition: Describe Product and service acquisition processes. It defines processes
that provide guidance to acquisition organizations for managing acquisitions of products and
services. It enlists the processes needed for acquisitions and integrates various knowledge bodies
that are needed.
CMMI for Services: Describe Service establishment, management, and delivery processes.
Includes guides to reduce costs, improve quality and predictability. Guides organizations to
define what services they should be providing, define standards, let the world know about them.
The CMMI contains 25 process areas):
* CMMI Causal Analysis and Resolution

* CMMI Configuration Management

* CMMI Decision Analysis and Resolution
* CMMI Integrated Project Management
* CMMI Integrated Supplier Management
* CMMI Integrated Teaming
* CMMI Measurement and Analysis
* CMMI Organizational Environment for Integration
* CMMI Organizational Innovation and Deployment
* CMMI Organizational Process Definition
* CMMI Organizational Process Focus
* CMMI Organizational Process Performance
* CMMI Organizational Training
* CMMI Product Integration
* CMMI Project Monitoring and Control
* CMMI Project Planning
* CMMI Process and Product Quality Assurance
* CMMI Quantitative Project Management
* CMMI Requirements Development
* CMMI Requirements Management
* CMMI Risk Management
* CMMI Supplier Agreement Management
* CMMI Technical Solution
* CMMI Validation
* CMMI Verification
CMM: Developed by the SEI. It's a model of 5 levels of organizational
'maturity' that determine effectiveness in delivering quality software.
The model identifies five levels of process maturity for an organisation:
1. Initial (chaotic, ad hoc, heroic) the starting point for use of a new
process.
2. Repeatable (project management , process discipline) the process is used
repeatedly.
3. Defined (institutionalized) the process is defined/confirmed as a standard
business process.
4. Managed (quantified) process management and measurement takes place.
5. Optimising (process improvement) process management includes deliberate
process optimization/improvement.
Within each of these maturity levels are KPAs (Key Process Areas) which
characterise that level, and for each KPA there are five definitions identified:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Goals
