Through CMM top evaluation after the development direction of the six: tool sales

Background information:

The five development directions discussed above are services, and in this section, the product is considered, and in today's international software industry, the CMM model has been widely and successfully applied, but the model defines what to do and does not define what to do. The process of groping, implementing, evaluating and improving according to traditional CMM is time-consuming and laborious and costly. The result is that many small and medium-sized companies have the heart to implement CMM without the ability to implement CMM. In the history of mankind, the effective use of every tool can bring about a qualitative leap in productivity. Similarly, there is an urgent need for an effective tool in the current software industry to change this situation.

In this context, the company has invested a lot of energy to develop a set of process automation integrated management tools which will take Cmm/cmmi as the prototype, take the scientific management as the guidance, and take the company as the cornerstone of the process wealth.

Development opportunities:

With the popularization of CMM, there are more and more enterprises with the intention of implementing CMM, but software enterprises need to spend a lot of manpower cost and time cost in the process of establishing an efficient and applicable internal management system. And a set of excellent process automation tools can accelerate the enterprise from immature to mature level of the upgrading process, so that enterprises in groping, establish, implement, improve a set of effective internal management system in the process of less detours, reduce manual management brought about by human error, greatly reduce the cost of implementation, So that the development and management of enterprises to embark on a standardized, efficient and automated road, so this tool should be more market.

Moreover, many traditional advisory bodies have usually only combined training and consultation work, often the assessment has been passed, the work of the advisory body has been completed, the use of training, consulting and tools of the advisory body very few, similar to the three-pronged approach not only to provide quality products, but also to provide quality services. Even if the enterprise's CMM assessment is over, and the work of the advisory body is not over, a set of tools for sustainable development and mature ideas will continue to strongly support customers to embark on a virtuous cycle of process improvement.

Although some advisory bodies are now starting to develop their own tools, but there are still very few advisory bodies with a high degree of maturity, and even the British Reuters Company, an authoritative assessment consultancy, is only at the CMM3 level, so that a high level software firm will have a great advantage in consulting and training.

Adverse factors: Development Direction III (Advisory training) all the disadvantages mentioned.

Model discussion: The specific approach is to integrate tools and training, consultation organically together for sale, by the tool first, backed by training consulting.

Available resources: Sales Engineers in the marketing department will be the market development work, by the company's SEPG members, QA engineers in Quality Department as the tool consulting training work.

Applicable objects:

1, has begun to cmm/cmmi standardized work, but has not yet carried out process management tools to develop software enterprises;

2, Development direction three (consulting training) mentioned in all the adaptation objects.

These six development direction's implementation effect will be how, now still is an unknown, need everybody through unceasingly groping, the practice examines and improves. Perhaps the road ahead is bumpy, the beginning is not so smooth, but we still believe that the path is tortuous, the future is bright. If we succeed, we can share the experience of success, and if we fail, we will carefully analyze the reasons, learn from the lessons learned, and if all efforts are still proven blocked, then we will also remind the future generations of these failures. Lest the latter repeat themselves. At the same time also hope that the Chinese software industry colleagues can provide a benign and healthy environment, success, not too sought after, blindly follow suit, failed also do not stand on one side, sarcastic sarcasm, I hope that we try to hold a peaceful and tolerant attitude to treat. Only in this way, can create a good atmosphere, so that everyone can be successful experience or the lessons of failure to share with you, learn from each other, and jointly make China's software industry bigger and stronger.
