CMMI and Agile: Why Implement then together

A useless, rigid and audit-driven death-
march that turns us into zombies and
forces us into slave-like adherence to
THE PROCESS
How do some engineers feel about CMMI?
Agile isn’t just a set of methods….it’s a philosophy
Perceived for CMMI* Possible Substitute
Meeting Minutes
Iteration/Sprint Log
Notice of Decision
Stakeholder Involvement Report
Status Reports
Stakeholder Communications
Change Request Log
Feature Backlog Change Request Approval Form
Detailed Requirement Specification
Bi-directional Traceability Matrix
COCOMO, SLOC, Top Down, Function Points Planning Poker, Ideal Days, Feature Value
* Notice “perceived.” Nothing in the model requires this.
Don’t create a work product for every practice, look to the INFORMATIVE MATERIAL
to understand the INTENT of the practice, and strive to satisfy it’s meaning.
The Agile Process Manifesto© . . . * We are learning that the traditional ways of developing process need improvement
and that, through iteration and collaboration with others, we have come to observe that:
Innovation
Useful Processes
Process Mandates
Certifications & Audits
Collaboration
Flexibility & Agility Rigid Compliance
Coercion & Punishment

If you only remember one thing . . .
David Lee Roth – Agile Process Genius?
A story about a Rock Star, an M&M, and “Just Enough Process.”
The composition of the process should help us meet
PROJECT OBJECTIVES (IPM, QPM)
not management’s need to see and understand
ONE SINGLE PROCESS (none)
The CMMI was designed to be Agile .. Really!
This is the essence of TAILORING.
We don’t “tailor-out” we SELECT what is right for us.
“Agile” Methods use some new techniques, but . . .

A new way to understand process velocity
First, strive to understand where work is occurring and where the CMMI Model addresses that work. Use the practices and informative materials to understand where your gaps are.

Common “Methods” make EPO’s successful
• Establish a Policy (set expectations) • Plan the Process (embed the process in the project) • Provide Resources (tools, technologies, processes) • Assign Responsibility (team agreements) • Train People (mentoring, coaching) • Manage Configurations (revision control the EPOs) • ID and Involve Stakeholders (team agreements) • Monitor and Control (how is it working) • Objectively evaluate adherence (why are people using/not) • Review with management (Do they care?) • Define the process (process patterns) • Collect improvement information (make it better and easier)
GP2.1 GP2.2 GP2.3 GP2.4 GP2.5 GP2.6 GP2.7 GP2.8 GP2.9 GP2.10 GP3.1 GP3.2
These common attributes are the difference between a “series of steps” and a successful, useful process

EPO®: Estimation
EPOs have encapsulated within them the “code” (process) and “data” (attributes) needed to be successful.

Organizational: Encapsulated Process Objectstm
Engineering Process Group (xEPG)
The xEPG is the OWNER of standard
processes
The SIGS inherit methods &
attributes from xEPG and contains a PROCESS
LEADER and the VOICE of the COMMUNITY
PERSISTANT CONTAINER hosting multiple, permanent sub-processes working groups
The xEPG is a SUSTAINABLE body that charters SIGs to design, rollout, & maintain sub-processes; membership in the xEPG or SIGs may rotate but the bodies are PERSISTANT

Exercise: You need to perform peer code reviews
What are your goals? How will Peer Code Reviews help you? What is a useful way to do this? - When does it happen?
- How often? - what types - what conditions to select the type?
What is our feature backlog? What do your peers think? Refactor? How to deploy it? How does that compare with the CMMI? Refactor? Stakeholder approval
Some things to remember . . .
• Use the CMMI Model as a GUIDE, not as a checklist
• Agile is a philosophy of “just enough.”
• Start with what you know you do well and build on it
• Understand the Practices, but don’t let them drive malpractice
• Focus on fixing problems, not achieving a “level” of CMMI
• Apply process objects incrementally and iteratively and don’t forget to think Agility!
