Launching
a Model-Based Software Process Improvement Initiative with PS&J
PS&J
offers a systematic approach to model based software process improvement
designed to move your organization forward rapidly and to achieve measurable
improvements in cost, cycle time, and product quality.
Our
approach reflects many years of experience with the CMM and with other
improvement models such as Six
Sigma.
It has been designed to help you avoid the typical pitfalls
of model based improvement and provide you with the best return possible
on your process improvement investment. We
don’t accept the notion that adding process discipline adds overhead.
In fact it is quite the opposite. Processes
haven’t been improved until there are measurable reductions in cost and cycle
time. We can show you how.
Our
team has been working with the CMM and CMMI for nearly 15 years.
PS&J Software Six Sigma is an SEI Partner for CMMI and offer the
training course "Introduction to CMMI" as well as SCAMPI assessments under SEI license. We place special emphasis on helping
organizations transition from CMM to CMMI. In particular we can help you
implement the Measurement and Analysis PA effectively and efficiently. We can help integrate existing Six Sigma and
CMM or CMMI initiatives, allowing your organization achieve maximum synergy and
minimum duplication of effort. Since we are an SEI Partner for
TSP, we can show you how to use TSP to reduce your time to move up the CMM /
CMMI maturity ladder from years to months.
Our team members have led organizations up the maturity ladder,
contributed to the development of the CMM and have
managed large-scale corporate wide assessment initiatives.
Over the years, the key thing we have leaned is that an organization must
focus on making measurable improvements in the practices used every day by
individual software developers. The
organization’s CMMI level needs to be a by-product of this activity. The focus always needs to be on business results.
Ultimately a practice that does not contribute to meeting a business goal
or that results in a net increase in overhead is ineffective, no matter how it
compares to a process model.
If
you are just starting out, let us help you find the right path.
If you have been involved in model based improvement and think that it
has added a lot of overhead without fundamentally improving productivity, cycle
time, or product quality, we can help you get on track. |
