SCAMPI, V1.0 Standard CMMI(SM) Assessment Method to Process Improvement: Method Description, Version 1.0

摘要

This document provides a high-level overview of the Standard CMMI(SM) Assessment Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI). The depth of information provided is suitable for a number of audiences, including potential sponsors of assessments, senior technical advisors, and individuals who may be assessment participants. This document explains the role of assessments in the context of the IDEAL(SM) (Initiating, Diagnosing, Establishing, Acting, Leveraging) approach to software process improvement. This document is not intended to provide in depth information on how to conduct a SCAMPI assessment, perform detailed planning for an assessment, or train an assessment team. Those wishing to conduct a SCAMPI assessment in their organization should contact an SEI- authorized SCAMP Lead Assessor to ensure that the assessment is performed by a trained, qualified individual who will conduct the assessment for the maximum benefit of the assessed organization. A list of SEI-authorized SCAMP Lead Assessors is maintained on me SEI's Web pages at http://www.sei.cmu.edu/ managing/appraiser.listing.htnl. The SCAMPI method is based on me CMM-Based Appraisal for Internal Process Improvement (CBA IPI) V1.1 assessment method and the Electronic Inductees Alliance/Interim Standard (EIA/IS) 731.2 Appraisal Method. SCAMPI satisfies the Assessment Requirements for CMMI (ARC) V1.0 SEI 00 and is a Class A assessment method. The SCAMPI method is a diagnostic tool that supports, enables, and encourages an organization's commitment to process improvement. The method helps an organization gain insight into its process capability or organizational maturity by identifying strengths and weaknesses of its current processes relative to one or more of the CMMI models, inducting the Capability Maturity Model-Integrated for Systems Engineering and Software Engineering.
