In this presentation that I delivered for a PMI-SOC event on May 21, 2015, I discuss how CMMI-DEV complements PMBOK in building mature Project Management processes. You will also find a brief discussion of how CMMI and OPM3 differs in in their approach as well as what commonalities they have. Hope you enjoy !

3. What is CMMI?
• The Capability Maturity Model Integration
(CMMI®) is a world-class performance
improvement framework for competitive
organizations that want to achieve high-
performance operations.
• Building upon an organization`s business
performance objectives, CMMI provides a set
of practices for improving processes,
resulting in a performance improvement
system.

4. What CMMI Is Not?
• CMMI is not a single process. It is a framework
that models what to do to improve your
processes, not define your processes.
• CMMI is designed to compare an
organization`s existing processes to proven
best practices developed by members of
industry, government, and academia; reveal
possible areas for improvement and provide
ways to measure progress.

28. Where to Start
• Start with the fundamentals (define what you
are doing right now)
• Select a reference (best/good practices)
• Find out ‘the gap’
• Identify expectations
• Add new practices (only when necessary!)
• Have a look at the GPs

Not much going on here…
Performing the work
Adhere to policy; follow documented plans and processes,
apply adequate resources; assign responsibility and
authority; train people, configuration management,
monitor, control, and evaluate process; identify and
involve stakeholders; review with management
Process tailoring from standard processes;
understanding qualitatively; process contributes to
the organization’s assets

32. OPM3 Cycle
• Acquire Knowledge
– Understand the organization and OPM3
– Assess change readiness
• Perform Assessment
• Manage Improvements
– Create Recommendations & Select Initiatives
– Implement Initiatives & Measure Results
– Manage Change
• Repeat the process

33. CMMI vs. OPM3
©2015 Dora Process Consulting Inc. All rights reserved. PMI-SOC GTIS Branch Event - May 21, 2015 32
OPM3 CMMI - DEV
Strategy execution framework
~ Process improvement model for
different areas of the organization
3 Domains (Project, Program,
Portfolio) ~ Organizational (Process Mng.),
Engineering, Support, Project Mng.
Provides a cycle for usage
~ Option to select a category to start
improvement
Assessment – Binary scoring
~ Appraisal – Team consensus on
implementation level
Built-in assessment method
~ Separate appraisal method
definition
Built-in organizational change
management steps ~ Not addressed as change
management but OPF covers
improvement aspect
Different approach to maturity and capability levels

34. Commonalities in PI Approach
OPM3 CMMI - DEV
Standardize
• Governance
• Documented Process
• Communicate the Process
• Process adherence

35. Conclusion
• CMMI Project Management PAs are aligned
with PMBOK
• CMMI, being a process improvement model
for the whole organization can help you
improve and obtain more mature project
management practices
