What is CMMI?
It's Capability Maturity Model Integration!
If your business is a mess then you have the CMMI to get you on the right track!
Now, What is the right track!
They will help you develop your processes to be performed in the right manner!
What are processes?
A Process Area can be a set of steps that you have to do, for example, project planning!
Now, CMMI Guidelines guide what to follow, how you do the steps is up to you!
Let me repeat!
CMMI will give you a set of steps to follow!
The steps tell you what to follow!
But not how to follow them!
How is up to you, whatever that you may seem fit, but they should be properly institutionalized and written down how to follow them!
There are maturity levels that should be targeted to help you become better in performing your processes, by performing, managing, defining and quantitatively managing and continuously optimizing the process areas!
Your business does software development work then you have CMMI for development constellation!
Your business is providing a service then you have the CMMI for Service constellation!
You are acquiring a product then you have CMMI for Acquisition constellation!
What you have to do is given!
But how you do it is up to you!
The books are great if you want to follow them.
CMMI is going to help you, if you want to work smarter instead of harder, if you want to follow a set of processes instead of being heroic, if you want predictable work instead of chaotic work!
All aligned if you'd like to be a top company in your industry!
All working for you if you would like to live a harmonious life!
Now, you may be saying, Will I be able to follow them!
Keep patience!
You will become great as you practice them.
And you can also ask for help from someone who follows them.
You can conduct gap analysis from an institute that can guide you with what you have to do to get better in your processes!
Remember, these guidelines are just ideal to develop your processes to make sure everyone in your organization follows them.
So, if you think you are in a mess with your business, then CMMI is the answer!
Will you allow CMMI Guidelines to help you?
The decision is yours?
All the best!
Know Yourself!
