Question - What is staged and continuous models in CMMI?
Answer
Staged models in CMMI, focus on process improvement using stages or
maturity levels. In staged representation each process area has one specific
goal. Achieving a goal would mean improvement in control and planning of the
tasks associated with the process. Staged representation has 5 maturity levels.
Continuous model in CMMI follow a recommended order for approaching process
improvement within each specified process area. It allows the user to select
the order of improvement that best meets the organization’s business
objectives. Continuous representation has 6 capability levels.
Question - Explain capability levels in continous representation.
Answer
There are 6 capability levels for Continuous representation:
Level 0: Not performed
Level 1: Performed
Level 2: Managed
Level 3: Defined
Level 4: Quantitatively managed
Level 5: Optimizing
Each level has process areas. Each process area has specific goals to achieve.
These processes are continuously improved to achieve the goals in a recommended
order.
Question - What is SCAMPI process?
Answer
Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement provides a
benchmark relative to Maturity Models. It describes requirements, activities
and processes associated with each process area. The SCAMPI appraisals identify
the flaws of current processes. It gives an idea of area of improvement and
determines capability and maturity levels. .
Question - What is the importance of PII in SCAMPI?
Answer
P II is Practice Implementation Indicator. As the name suggests, P II
serves as an indicator or evidence that a certain practice that supports a goal
has been implemented. P II could be a document and be served as a proof.
