Why CMMi?

CMMI is just a model! A representation of something complex presented in a way that helps us manage the complexity. Product development is indeed very a complex process and to perform better we need overview to prioritize and detailed insight to improve.  

What is CMMI

Could it be another model?? Yes, e.g.ISO33061 covers the same scope. The content is the same, just arranged slightly different.

In Whitebox we find CMMI to be the best and most operational model.  And this version is free to download here.

You ca find a lot of inspiration in it. But remember that it is not telling you exactly what to do. It is telling you what the best are typically doing, but you always need to apply your professional judgement to decide what is important to you. Reading the model end-to-end is tough! But seeking inspiration is recommended. 

Now let’s take a look at what is inside CMMI – and what is not.

Assessment

Together we do the assessment to get the overview – and the detailed insight. 

You are participating in it. Please find out how in this video.

The benefits

You will recognize better product development performance in many ways. It’s up to you to decide what you find is most important, but the sole purpose is to get more and better products out faster in a way that is more professional and less stressing than before. If improvements are done well, everyone is happy.

The plan

The plan for the VESTAS A&M CMMI assessment 2022-2023 looks like this:
