The Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) is a powerful framework for process improvement. At the core of the CMMI is measurement, requiring that all processes be planned and all processes be monitored. The CMMI Measurement & Analysis (M&A) process area promotes decision-making through data analysis based on objective measurement.
While the CMMI is simple to understand, it is not easy to implement. DataDrill is specifically designed to speed deployment of a measurement process which satisfies the CMMI. Unique automation in DataDrill supports every activity and task within the M&A process area. The DataDrill solution helps your organization to:
- Spend less time defining, implementing and institutionalizing a measurement and analysis process
- Focus on the results of the measurement process and not on building scripts, tools and other glue to implement it
- Accommodate management and measurement process changes before and after the assessment
- Deploy a platform that supports “defined” and “organizational” measurement (at levels 2 and 3), as well as statistical process control, advanced analysis and process optimization (at levels 4 and 5)
- Integrate measurement into management and oversight functions – your organization delivers provides mangers with the data they need to manage according to your policies and standards
DataDrill has been used in hundreds of high maturity (level 3 and higher) processes for IT, software engineering and systems engineering. Our solutions address the key functions required to successfully satisfy the CMMI, allowing you to:
- Use a library of existing information needs to control and manage technical processes, or tailor them to meet customer, process or organizational needs
- Capture plan and actual data, analysis, justifications and graphical data in a central, secure repository – available for advanced reporting and analysis using third-party tools
- Navigate or search your measurement repository to manage-by-exception or to determine readiness for assessment
- Speed the specification of plans and targets for your indicators using established industry models (such as for defects, requirements and size), data import and capturing/re-using historical data
- Generate process documents describing current collection, analysis and reporting procedures
