A Word from Our CMMI Chief Architect

Sustaining Habit and Persistence – Intentions and Approaches for Implementation Infrastructure (II) and Governance (GOV)

If people continue to consciously follow the process for several iterations, they ultimately transition to the point where they are unconsciously following the process. They no longer need to think about it; it is simply the way business is done in the organization.

Assessing Your Organization’s Capability For Remote Work and Virtual Delivery Using EVSD

Based on years of research on lessons learned and best practices, this new draft CMMI V2.0 PA: Enabling Virtual Solution Delivery (EVSD) was created to provide organizations, projects and individuals with a set of best practices organized in a way to provide them with a consistent means for continually improving their performance for virtual/remote delivery and work.

Lessons Learned From the Field on Virtual CMMI Course and Appraisal Delivery

COVID-19 has changed the face of business around the globe, seemingly overnight, and its impact on how businesses operate is going to last for years.
