CMMI Appraisals
A CMMI process appraisal is an objective evaluation of a organization's software or systems development capability. Our consultants are among the most experienced Lead Appraisers worldwide and have been providing SEI appraisal services since 1990.
As an SEI Partner, we offer a full range of process appraisal services — from formal benchmark appraisals to brief, informal assessments — and are certified by the SEI to conduct SCAMPI High Maturity Appraisals (Maturity Levels 4 & 5).
SCAMPI Class A Appraisal
A SCAMPI A appraisal is typically conducted when an organization has implemented a number of significant process improvements and needs to formally benchmark its process relative to the CMMI. A SCAMPI A is the only appraisal method that provides CMMI Maturity Level or Capability Level ratings.
SCAMPI Class B Appraisal
A SCAMPI B is called for when an organization needs to assess its progress towards a target CMMI Maturity Level, but at a lower cost than a SCAMPI A. SCAMPI B appraisals provide detailed findings and indicate the likelihood that the evaluated practices would be rated as satisfactorily implemented in a SCAMPI A appraisal.
SCAMPI Class C Appraisal
SCAMPI C appraisals are shorter and more flexible than SCAMPI A and B appraisals and are conducted to address a variety of special needs, from a quick gap analysis to determining an organization's readiness for a SCAMPI A.
Baseline Assessment
When there is a need to establish an initial process baseline — typically, when an organization has a low maturity process or is initiating a process improvement program — a Baseline Assessment is often the most cost-effective approach. Baseline Assessments characterize a process relative to the CMMI and provide a sound foundation for process improvement planning.
