Competency Maturity Integration Model (Capability maturity models Integration;cmmi) is a product and service of the development and maintenance of the best implementation method, can enable enterprises for different operating objectives, process and organizational transformation, To enable enterprises to achieve higher efficiency and more stable product or service quality.
Industry experts say that each enterprise or department has different operating objectives, including cost reduction, profit promotion, product listing time control to quality and so on, and CMMI can help enterprises to achieve these goals more clearly. "Simply put, CMMI can turn a business from a to a+". "
For both sides of the system, CMMI represents a quality assurance. Party A's customers in the face of party B Enterprises to display the past project results, it is difficult to judge the future projects from the previous project is also as successful as the company said. If the enterprise through the CMMI maturity level more than 3 of the evaluation, as the process and quality control has been institutionalized within the company, party a can rely on past project results to infer the performance of party B's Future project implementation.
But how do companies import CMMI to help improve the process? CMMI Import can be divided into stages (staged) and continuous (continuous) Two, generally speaking, the stage is more in line with the needs of large enterprises. Small and medium-sized enterprises are more suitable for continuous import mode.
Industry experts for the import model to further explain that the stage is more like a good clothes, because each stage must complete the steps and verification are set up beforehand, the enterprise to do is to adjust the organization or process to meet the dress, and then wear up. And the continuous type is more like to the original fabric, then the enterprise according to their own stature, need to cut out the appropriate clothes.
"Never cmmi," for CMMI. Some enterprises, because they do not understand the nature of CMMI, and adopt a phased import and the pursuit of a high level of CMMI evaluation, so that the organization to add a lot of unnecessary processes, but unfavorable to achieve the objectives of the operation. The focus is not on CMMI, but on the continuous improvement of the operational objectives, which is what the enterprise has to figure out.
Although the introduction of CMMI does not necessarily require the assistance of consultants, enterprises can refer to the standard of CMMI, and then follow their own needs to do the revision, import themselves. But the consultant's biggest advantage is that it can provide enterprise import experience, help the enterprise faster and more mature use CMMI. Especially in the initial stage of the introduction, the consultant for the enterprise status of the process of inventory and drop analysis (gap analyses), can enable enterprises to systematic the overall view of the company's existing processes, and then in accordance with the operational objectives of the improvement plan, and then a full complement and correction, Make the CMMI import activities smoother.
Although the CMMI is the best practice in the past for many companies to execute projects, it is definitely not a standard that every enterprise can copy practices. The best benefit of CMMI is to give the enterprise a reference to process improvement and to propose a process improvement plan based on its operational objectives, thereby achieving the operational objectives of reducing costs or increasing benefits.
