Cmmi5 pursues "both shapes and minds"

Sei organizes a cmme seminar every year. Most cmme chief evaluators use this opportunity to learn about sei.
As a place to socialize with people in the circle. The work of the chief evaluators is mostly independent. The SEPG conference and the annual cmme seminar have become a rare opportunity for everyone to communicate and enhance each other.
Friendship. At the meeting, an American chief evaluator chatted with me about an interesting story. He saw this article on a software engineering blog site in the United States.

When he said that he was "young and not sensible", he thought SEI's cmme was good. He thought that his work needed good documents and required rigorous process definitions, we also need high IQ from Carnegie Mellon University.
Head to guide. He said that his company was a large IT company, and the company was implementing CMMS to reach level 3 of maturity. Then, he had the result he did not think of at all.

He
"Suddenly, the population of the Office began to fill out various forms and start various meetings. The meeting was called an experience summary meeting, a peer review meeting, or a change control meeting. Suddenly, a table is required for every task.
Up to two tables. Do you want to talk to your supervisor? Enter the table. How many people do you want to discuss the design scheme? Enter the table. Do you want to go upstairs to see what old friends are doing? He told you that he is filling out the table ."

"
However, our bad habits have not changed. They only change the packaging. They now exist in a large number of practices and documents that meet the requirements of cmme. Talented designers still use whiteboards to discuss issues freely.
They need to record the text on the whiteboard and fill in the tables that are considered to be compatible with cmme. The architecture design document is becoming increasingly thick, but no one wants to read it. No one looks at the tables. No one wants them.
See-in addition to those insomnia people, they no longer need to take sleeping pills, they can see that document: ZD-91701-software design module-Input Output operation concept ."

There are still many texts in the blog, but I will reference them here. This blogger's point of view is already very clear. The chief evaluators may have a desire to criticize such words. Of course, I cannot be an exception. But where is the problem?

The theme of this year's SEPG conference in Suzhou is "cmme goals: the pursuit of both shapes and shapes ". I think the above problems are explained in the form of a similar relationship with God in the implementation of CMMs.

Chinese art, from calligraphy to painting, and even music and go games, is easy and difficult, and there is a process of upgrading from the shape to the Spirit of God. They all focus on the unity of form and God. The so-called "form and spirit" is the highest realm of art.

Calligraphy is used as an example. The study begins with a letter, Liu Gongquan, or Yan Zhenqing. If you care about it, you can write it in a matter of two years. However, it is necessary to copy its charm and write out the bones of the willow body, which is vigorous and powerful.
Without five years of success. Then, we must be able to meet the five things that Su Shi said: God, gas, bone, meat, and blood. We can put the beauty pursuing Artistic Conception on the physical manifestation and use calligraphy to demonstrate our aesthetic pursuit, express the Calligrapher's inner
In the world of mind, it may take half of human life.

Take go as an example.
The portal will show you what kind of chess is "good shape" and what kind of chess is "Stupid shape ". Playing chess forms a good shape, and the efficiency is high, so you can use a small number of hands to gain greater benefits. However, when you are a beginner, you only know how to imitate go.
Understanding is superficial and cannot comprehend the god of every player. Although they all follow a definite rule, they cannot respond to each other, either by repeating the sub-force or by looking at the opposite, and eventually lose the overall situation, leading to failure. On the contrary, experts play chess
It will no longer stick to the style of chess, it can break the patterns and adapt to the changes; it can be a "stupid magic hand", making the game open and go to victory.

NARI, we can say that we are like a god, and it is the beginning of mastering an art. God is like a development that truly reflects the artistic standard. God cannot be separated from the shape, so there is a "God-like storage, god-like thank God
"Destroy. However, God seems to be the ultimate goal of the pursuit, so there is a saying that "the gods of interest. The spirit of God is the perfect pursuit of the Spirit of God.

BackCmme, I thinkCmmeIs embodied in the practices required in the model that exist in the Organization. It seems to be reflected inCmmeIt truly helps organizations achieve their business goals and reflects the true value of process improvement through ROI.

What we strive to achieve at the beginning of implementation is the shape. We started to learn the knowledge of cmme, understand the structure of the model, and understand what is a process domain, what is a process domain goal, and what is a practice in the target. We enter
Select a certain range of models and start to practice cmme at the "shape" level. Just like the post of calligraphy, the back-set style of go, At the beginning we often awkwardly imitate a set that is considered to be able to meet the requirements of cmme
To develop our own standards, we may consider whether the Organization's practices meet the requirements of the cmme, and pay less attention to the real value these practices bring to the Organization. Our goals may be more
It is through a certain amount of time to pass the evaluation of cmme, rather than through the implementation of cmme can increase the percentage of customer satisfaction, reduce the percentage of defects, or increase the percentage of Production
Product reliability.

The evaluation of CMMs is mostly centered on "shape. Me
According to the rigorous model documents, follow the strict evaluation method to carry out the evaluation process step by step. First, we need to map organization practices to model practices, and find the so-called "practice implementation indicators" as a practice.
Evidence. We need to discuss the adequacy of the evidence to determine the extent to which these cmme practices have been implemented within the Organization, and finally draw a conclusion to find out the strengths and weaknesses in the organizational practice. Evaluation Method
What is required is the adequacy of practice, not the quality of practice. In my understanding, the cmme evaluation mainly determines whether the organization can be similar to the practice of the cmme model. But to see the benefits of CMMS
Important.

Corporate culture can be said to beCmmeA manifestation of God.Cmme
Practice should not be a rigid dogma in an organization, but a natural process integrating with corporate culture. On the one hand, the organization builds an enterprise culture conforming to the cmme spirit, so that the enterprise culture can be passed in virtually
On the other hand, cmme can promote the construction of corporate culture in the implementation of the organization. The implementation of cmme makes enterprise management more harmonious, the team atmosphere more harmonious, and the morale of employees higher. Article-based
Rong said that the God of cmme gathered in the park to find the owners of dogs. It was humorous in the bad weather in Utah, competitors told the story of the past during their dinner and smiled. For this table
Agree.

CmmeThe level of similarity should be measured by the implementation of business goals.Zi
Considering the practice of high maturity of CMMS, the importance of quantifying business objectives has been continuously strengthened. The business objectives of an organization are specific and measurable. They are constantly refined at all levels of the organization. For statistics management
The key sub-process is selected based on the quantified organization business objectives. The process performance baseline and model are also set up around the quantified organization business objectives. When the Organization is striving for a high maturity goal after long-term efforts
If the implementation is like this, we will find that the process of high maturity is difficult, and the data that has spent a lot of energy cannot be analyzed to produce the desired results, and the performance of the process is delayed and unstable, the so-called performance baseline or model in terms
Does not actually work. If the process improvement team is frustrated, it may be to think about whether the accumulation of CMMs is sufficient to fully grasp the charm of CMMs.

I think they areCmmeThere is nothing wrong with the implementation, but kung fu is still in a similar stage, just like in the early stages of learning calligraphy, boring ingredients are more than enjoyment. One day, when the blogger reaches the realm of sublimationCmmeHe may say,"When I was not sensible, I thoughtCmmeVery boring and useless......"
