The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is an organizational model that describes 5 evolutionary stages (or levels), in which the business processes in an organization are managed. The term "maturity" relates to the degree of formality and optimization of processes, from ad hoc practices, to formally defined steps, to managed result metrics, to active optimization of the processes.
The CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) Checklist is an Excel template that captures specific Activities and Deliverables across the 5 maturity levels:
1. Initial – no activities and deliverables identified
2. Managed – 232 activities and deliverables identified
3. Defined – 412 activities and deliverables identified
4. Quantitatively Managed – 67 activities and deliverables identified
5. Optimizing – 72 activities and deliverables identified
There is also a summary tab that captures percentage complete across all the maturity levels.
This CMMI Checklist template is meticulously structured to ensure comprehensive coverage of all necessary activities and deliverables. It includes detailed sections on maintaining requirements traceability, ensuring alignment between project work and requirements, and developing a work breakdown structure (WBS). The template also emphasizes the importance of defining work packages in sufficient detail to estimate labor hours and costs accurately.
The checklist also covers critical aspects of data management, including establishing privacy and security requirements, mechanisms for data retrieval, and distribution. It outlines the steps for planning project resources, such as determining process requirements, communication needs, and staffing requirements. Additionally, it includes provisions for identifying and managing risks, ensuring that all potential issues are documented and addressed promptly.
This tool is designed to facilitate rigorous project monitoring and control. It includes sections on obtaining commitment to the plan, monitoring project planning parameters, and managing corrective actions. The checklist also provides guidance on managing supplier agreements, ensuring that all supplier-related activities are thoroughly documented and reviewed. This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of project management are covered, providing a robust framework for achieving project success.
