There are three classes of CMMI Appraisal Methods: Class A, Class B, and Class C.
SCAMPI Class A Appraisal
SCAMPI A is the most rigorous method and the only method that can result in a rating.You can expect following outcomes from a SCAMPI A:
-
A Maturity Level rating or Capability Level ratings.
-
Findings that describe the strengths and weaknesses of your organization's process relative to the CMMI.
-
Consensus regarding the organization's key process issues.
-
An appraisal database that the organization can continue to use to monitor process improvement progress and to support future appraisals.
SCAMPI Class B Appraisal
SCAMPI B provides options in model scope, but the characterization of practices is fixed to one scale and is performed on implemented practices.You can expect following outcomes from a SCAMPI B:
-
Detailed findings that describe the strengths and weaknesses of your organization's process relative to the CMMI.
-
Practice characterizations indicating the likelihood that the examined practices would satisfy the goals and meet the intent of the CMMI.
-
Consensus regarding the organization's key process issues.
-
A FIDO database that the organization can continue to use to monitor process improvement progress and to support future appraisals.
SCAMPI Class C Appraisal
SCAMPI C provides a wide range of options, including characterization of planned approaches to process implementation according to a scale defined by the user.SCAMPI C appraisals are often performed for reasons such as:
-
Provide a quick gap analysis of an organization's process relative to the CMMI.
-
Assess the adequacy of a new process before it is implemented.
-
Monitor the implementation of a process.
-
Determine an organization's readiness for a SCAMPI A.
-
Support the selection of a supplier.
You can expect following outcomes from a SCAMPI C:
-
Findings that describe the strengths and weaknesses of the assessed processes. Depending on the appraisal scope and strategy, findings may be mapped to the relevant CMMI components.
-
Characterizations that summarize the adequacy of the assessed processes vis-?-vis the CMMI.
-
Recommended process improvement actions.
-
A FIDO database that the organization can continue to use to monitor process improvement progress and to support future appraisals.
