Some of the key takeaways from the document are that CMMI V2.0 introduces changes to terminology and grouping of requirements, focuses on business objectives related to performance, quality, cost and schedule, and aims to make the model more useful and adaptable to organizations.

Some of the main changes introduced in CMMI V2.0 include new terminology like categories, capability areas and practice areas (previously called process areas). It also focuses on continuous process improvement through repeatability and defines maturity levels in terms of capability and performance.

Some of the new practice areas introduced in CMMI V2.0 are Governance, Implementation Infrastructure, Process Asset Management, Process Management, Estimating and Peer Review.

Introduction to Version 2.0
Newly released CMMI for Development, Version 2.0 presents some strategic
changes and improvements in both methodology and approach.

These updates provide the addition of some new requirements, an evolution


of historical standards as well as a continuation of familiar practices.

 Some new terminology – grouping of requirements into “Category”,


“Capability Areas”, and “Practice Areas”.
 In Version 2.0 what was historically referred to as “Process Areas” – ex.
Configuration Management, are now referred to as “Practice Areas”.
 At Maturity Level 3 – all Practice Areas (20) are applicable.
 Performance practices are built into all maturity levels - with a focus on
process improvement through repeatability and practice.

Practice Areas

A set of practices that collectively describe the critical activities to achieve defined intent
and value. 6
Maturity Levels- Capability and Performance
 Maturity levels are still
categorized under
traditional definitions.
 The new model provides a
road map that guides
improvement from Ad hoc
activities to a consistent
process.
 Guidance is focused on
business objectives related
to :
 Performance
 Quality
 Cost
 Schedule 7
What’s New?

Level 3- All Level 2, Plus


Most organizations that prepare for implementation of process and practice to successfully achieve a maturity level, do so at
level 2 or level 3. under the new model following Practice Areas are applicable at level 2 &3. • Casual Analysis and Resolution
Level 2 –Practice Areas
• Decision Analysis and Resolution
 Configuration Management
 Estimation • Organizational Training
 Governance
• Peer Review
 Implementation infrastructure
 Managing Performance and Measurement • Process Asset Development
 Monitoring & Control • Process management
 Planning
 Project Quality Assurance • Product Integration
 Requirements Development & Management • Risk and Opportunity Management
 Supplier Agreement Management (NA)
• Technical Solution

• Verification & Validation


What’s New?

New “Practice Areas” for Version 2.0.

 Governance:
Requirements for the guidance of senior management on their role in the
sponsorship and governance of process activity. This practice area incorporates
historical (V1.3) process areas such as organizational process definition,
organizational process focus requirements as well generic practice requirements.

 Implementation Infrastructure:
Requirements to ensure that the processes important to an organization are used
and improved. This practice area incorporates historical (V1.3) Generic practice
requirements.

What’s New?

New “Practice Areas” for Version 2.0

 Process Asset Management:


Requirements for the development and management of process assets. This
practice area highlights previous requirements from Organizational Process
Definition process area (V 1.3).

 Process Management:
Requirements for the management and implementation of continuous
improvement activity for the processes and infrastructure. This practice area
highlights previous requirements from Organizational Process Focus process area
(V1.3)
10
What’s New?

New “Practice Areas” for Version 2.0


 Estimating:
Requirements for estimation activity associated with development,
acquisition, and delivering a position. This practice area is broken out and
expanded from Specific Practice areas of the Project Planning process
area under V1.3.

 Peer Review:
Requirement of conducting Peer Reviews on selected work products. This
practice area is broken out and expanded from Specific Practice areas of
the verification process area under V1.3.
11
What’s New?

Updated “Practice Areas” for Version 2.0

 Most of the remaining Practice Areas are a variation in name or a combination of like process
requirements from V1.3. These practice areas are familiar to the old model but do introduce a
continued evolution of requirements that support efficiency in practice.
Examples:
 Planning - Project Planning (V1.3)
 Monitoring and Control – Project Monitoring and Control (V1.3)
 Managing Performance and measurement – Measurement and Analysis (V1.3)

 Introduction of the Practice Area – Casual Analysis and Resolution. This traditionally was a
process area that was reserved for Level 4 & 5 (High Maturity) maturity level under V1.3. The
introduction under the new version as a Level 3 practice area introduces the requirements for
conducting and managing root cause practices to prevent the recurrence of identified issues.
12
Familiar Practice Areas

Version 2.0 maintains some similar Practice Areas:


 Configuration Management (CM)
 Decision Analysis and Resolution (DAR)
 Project Quality Assurance (PQA)
 Organizational Training (OT)
 Product Integration (PI)
 Requirements Development & Management (RDM)
 Risk and Opportunity Management (ROM)
 Technical Solution (TS)
 Verification & Validation (VV)
It should be noted that several of these (ex. RDM & VV) are combinations of V1.3 Process Areas:
 RDM = Requirements Development + Requirements Management Process Area from version 1.3.
 VV = Verification + Validation Process Area from version 1.3.
13
Conclusion

 CMMI V2.0 is an integrated set of best practices focused on business


improvement, focusing on the performance of key business processes.
 The changes are directed at making the model more useful within a business
architecture and more adaptable to organizational practices.
 Defined practice areas are designed to support consistent application and
achievement of business objectives related to:

 Performance
 Quality
 Cost
 Schedule
 Functionality
