SPEAKER PRESENTATION
Conference Track: CMMI Adoption – V2.0 Transition
Making the transition from v1.3 to v2.0 was not a straight forward task. There are many nuances in v2.0 that require thoughtful integration as you build your organizational processes. The approach to maturity levels was totally different, the v1.3 practices at maturity level 4 and 5 were integrated into practices at all maturity levels, and the measurement program took on a whole new focus.
This presentation will cover:
•How we used DAR to decide between retrofitting v2.0 content into our v1.3 practices or recreating our practices from scratch
•The implementation approach we used to design and write our processes
•Updates to our supporting process assets
•Lessons learned
Conference Track: Performance Management
The new update to the model and the appraisal method both bring in a possibility of quite a few constructs that can be leveraged to bring in a value-add of the appraisal activity and hence leave a “unique selling proposition” to all stakeholders including the Sponsors, participants, consumers of appraisal results (i.e. your potential customers), and most importantly in how appraisals are perceived in the organization. The presentation will discuss tenets that can result in ensuring appraisals are not seen as a mundane compliance checking activity, or an “compliance" centered” activity but to also marry visible benefits of going through the appraisal process. (remember the 'PI' in SCAMPIs?)
