BOOK OF THE MONTH: CMMI Survival Guide: Just Enough Process Improvement |
|
 The CMMI® Survival Guide is an
effective resource for multiple readerships. If you are just now
considering a process improvement program, with the CMMI among your
options, the authors' discussion of relevant issues will enhance your
business case right from the start. If you have already decided to
implement the CMMI, the authors' practical knowledge will help you make
the most of your efforts. Even if you are well into a CMMI
implementation, but are lost, stuck, or going around in circles, the
authors' valuable advice will help you regain your direction.
The CMMI provides a framework for process improvement spanning the
life cycle of a product or service, from conception through delivery
and maintenance. Widely and beneficially adopted around the world, the
size and apparent complexity of the framework have nonetheless been
daunting to some organizations. That need not be so. With a proper
guide to help navigate around unknown dangers, potential pitfalls, and
false paths, you too, can realize substantial business value from a
successful CMMI implementation. This book is such a guide, full of the
real-life examples to ease your way, and written in a lighter style to
ease your reading.
If
you work in a smaller or resource-strapped organization, you will
particularly benefit from the authors' description of alternative paths
to process improvement-approaches that are more incremental or agile,
and less intensive, than you might imagine for a CMMI implementation.
The authors draw on their extensive experience working with diverse
organizations, and on the CMMI tools, techniques, and templates
developed for those organizations.
Whatever your background or need, the CMMI® Survival Guide
will help you survey the CMMI territory, consult possible road maps,
learn from other CMMI explorers, weigh the benefits of hiring a living
guide, and even consider whether the trip is right for you.
