Recommendations - Level 3

Problem: - lack of experience in the CM department Solution: - Formal training of all personnel in the CM

department. Problem: - No measurements of the configuration process are

taken. Solution: - Measurements must be taken because it is a

necessary part of CMM. If Xavor does not start taking measurements of its CM process, it will most probably fail to attain CMM certifications.

Problem: - A record of Peer Reviews is not kept. The information is reviewed and discarded. Solution: - The organization should log peer reviews along with

the project and team member details to effectively measure the team’s performance.

Recommendations - Level 4

Make a survey in their organization to see which processes are being or not being measured quantitatively.

Make an organizational wide database in which measurement are recorded.

Start quantitative analysis during their planning and development phases.

Launch a pilot project in which the organization tests and uses rigorous statistical methods.
