Improving Capability and Performance with CMMI V2.0 - What Has Changed?

The overall focus in V2.0 has been to drive home the point that the model is about improving organizational capability to improve performance for any type of work.

Goals and Motivation for Version 2.0

The CMMI Institute has focused on simplifying both the model and appraisal method. Here are some of their original goals for the changes:

Model

• A simplified model that reduces redundancy.
• One model that includes Development, Services, Security, Supply Chain and People practices. Appropriate topics are selected for different types of organizations.
• Each Practice Area contains an evolutionary pathway

Appraisal Method

• Increase quality, reliability, and consistency.
• Reduce the overall lifecycle cost to conduct an appraisal.
• Minimize organizational and work effort disruption.
• Provide greater insight into performance improvement.

The main communication points from the CMMI Institute for V2.0 are:

• Improve Business Performance: Business goals are tied to operations in order to drive measurable improved performance.
• Leverage Current Best Practices: CMMI V2.0 is a trusted source of proven best practices.
• Build Agile Resiliency and Scale: The model contains direct guidance on how to strengthen Agile with Scrum.
• Benchmark Capability and Performance: The new performance-oriented appraisal method improves the reliability and consistency of benchmarking while reducing preparation time and lifecycle costs.
• Accelerate Adoption: Online platform and adoption guidance make the benefits of CMMI more rapidly achievable.
• Changed "Process Area" to "Practice Area": This emphasizes that the model is not a collection of (rote) processes to be implemented, but a collection of practices to be used to run and manage projects.
• Organized practices within each Practice Area: Practices are organized by levels instead of Specific Goals. Levels provide a clear, methodical path for building capability and improving performance within each Practice Area.
• Replaced the Generic Practices with two new Practice Areas: Governance (GOV) & Implementation Infrastructure (II) to reduce the redundancy and complexity of the Generic Practices. They foster the persistence and habit of an organization’s processes and their business value rather than compliance to the model.

CMMI V2.0 model content, appraisal systems and appraisal team member resources which are updated and completely integrated systems and that will be easier to access. A single sign-on interface will reduce duplication and make it simple to begin or continue your CMMI journey.
