Process Improvement


Process Improvement - Approaches


Model Based Process Improvement Is the type of approach that CMMI uses.

The other models available are ISO and Malcolm Baldidge.

CMMI based Process Improvement is more focused towards a specific industry whereas the others are generic in nature and can be adopted by any industry.

Although there are difference in approaches, there are also similarities as follows:

Each approach select a process and not product to be improved. The result is an improved product. Each approach use team either formally or informally having planning and research in common. Definition of current process and the proposed changes are documented. Results are communicated between stake holders.

Kovair Supports all the approaches

CMMI (Dev) V 1.3 - Two Major Terms and Definition


IMPLEMENTATION

Is simply performing a task within the process area.(A process area is an area that CMMi has selected where your organization needs to focus on, such as Project Planning or Configuration Management. It is a set of related task that addresses a common area).

INSTITUTIONALIZATION

Implies that the process is ingrained in the way the work is performed and there is commitment & consistency to performing (i.e., executing) the process. It ensures that the process will also continue in the absence of those how has created it .

Kovair Facilitates uniform implementation to

institutionalization of Process Area across all Projects in the organization.

Configured to ensure activities done as per CMMI Dev 1.3 Model to satisfy the GG & GP of different maturity level.

Proving the ROI for the Model and the tool.

IMPLEMENT

Defect Rectification Predefined Processes as per CMMI are

configured to enable you “Plug & Play”

People, Roles and Responsibilities

Create The Engineering Process Group(EPG) with their roles & responsibilities and access rights

Create Process Area Team (PATs) with their roles & responsibility and access rights

Group & Role based access rights

Predefined Templates, auto loaded attributes as the users moves over the steps of the process

To create a document the same attributes can be edited and saved as the latest version

Change tracing and version controlling of the documents.

Defining Processes, procedures, policies and Charters

Tool Configured as per the defined Process and procedure in “Plug & Play” manner through workflows

Changes can be made and tracked on the Process and Procedures Templates

Changes can be implemented in Work Flow after impact analysis of the changes.


Measurement!! a Boatload of Metrics and Statistical Process Control


CMMI focuses on measurement throughout the model

The Generic Practices (GP) in all Process areas for GP 2.8,

2.10 and 3.2 covers the same

Kovair has 202 Metrics preconfigured at different PA’s, The

user has the choice to select the Metrics he needs at the

Project level or the Organization level

Example : REQM PA

1. Requirement Volatility (Percentage of Requirement change)

2. Number of Requirement by Type or Status (Defined, reviewed,

approved and implemented) …. etc.

“It takes at least few renditions to make an indelible mark on a learned mind.” As Kovair has the CMMI® practices ingrained in it, its use automates institutionalisation of the

practices across all projects Training will be necessary to create the awareness, but will reduce the need of renditions Impact:

o Reduces the learning curveo Saves about 75% of cost towards process training

Improving Effectiveness of Process Training

Managing Impacts on Changes

“Change is the only constant thing in life.” Changes impact work products - interlinked and bound by a maze of processes – integrity of work

products may be easily compromised Having Kovair helps you to:

o Trace links among processes vis-à-vis work products & automates change managemento Maintain traceability of work productso Save from rework /damages from inadvertent mistakes while implementing change requests

Evidence of practice implementations are captured in real time manner Facilitates continuous monitoring of process implementation & their effectiveness Benefits:

o You can preview where it all stands before the appraisal is actually conductedo Keeps the organization in “appraisal-ready state”

Keeps You Ready for SCAMPI®


PIIDs and Data Consolidation Sheets


Status of practice implementations are captured in real time in the PIID and can be drilled down to view the evidences

Mapping of all practices – SPs and GPs – for all PAs - done across all projects – Run Time!

Facilitates continuous monitoring of process implementation & their effectiveness

Benefits:o Saves the Man-hour invested in

preparation of the PIIDs

EPG can focus on innovation and decisions rather than data collections.




User has the option to select the methodology for the Project

Organisation can have multiple project on different methodology.

All activities performed under chosen Methodology are mapped with CMMI generic and specific practices , and thereby supporting the PIIDs.

Kovair support your Model Irrespective of Methodology

22 Pre configured Process Areas as per the CMMI – Dev V 1.3 Model Organization level processes are defined in the Work Space

o Changes if required in the process flow can be easily done as per requirement.o Customer Accounts can be created

• Multiple Projects under the Accounts can be created • Project level PA’s are automatically configured on their creation.• Centralized support processes for all projects as per the CMMI Model are configured.
