Deploying CMMI is intended to elevate business performance and provide insights for baselining and optimizing key organizational capabilities. This is a marathon – not a sprint. To stem the decline of initial momentum generated at the appraisal time, the deployment when complemented with comprehensive data capture and automation of workflows and metrics generation offers the best chance of institutionalization. This minimizes the need for continued investment of manual efforts and senior management can visually ‘see’ the business performance resulting from CMMI. This session will discuss an integrated approach to combine process and business performance using technology to achieve ROI.
