Process Maturity

Organizations striving to continuously improve eventually find that continuing levels of improvement are enhanced by adopting an external model of professional maturity to which the organization can aspire. Our services include helping organizations understand and apply these models by incorporating their requirements into existing quality and process improvement practices. We emphasize that organizations should not attack these models as stand-alone initiatives, but should use them to clarify the direction and goals of existing initiatives that are focused on continuous improvement of products and services. The three model domains we work with involve general business maturity (Baldridge National Quality Award Criteria for Excellence), information technology process maturity (SEI Capability Maturity Model Integration), and project managment maturity (PMI Organizational Project Management Maturity Model).

Specific services include:

• CMMI
• PMBOK
• OPM3
• Support for informal interal self-assessments.
• Methodology and standards development for Level 2 or Level 3 compliance.
• Planning and assistance for CMMI adoption.
