KeyLogic Externally Appraised at CMMI Maturity Level 2

KeyLogic has implemented Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) processes across several projects within the Knowledge Management Strategic Business Unit. CMMI is dedicated to process improvement that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective and repeatable processes. This process helps to integrate traditionally separate organizational functions, set process improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality processes, and provide a point of reference for appraising current processes.

Our Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI) was successfully submitted on May 8, 2009. The goal of the appraisal process was to assess the capability of KeyLogic’s processes against an established, industry-recognized model, as well as to confirm implementation and institutionalization of KeyLogic processes against the SEI CMMI Maturity Level 2 process areas.

Championing this endeavor was Bob Reck, with much support from Carey Butler, Sam Hollis, Preston Prentice, Jeff Johnston, Christine Rueter, Mike Boyle, and Jose Rivera, with additional corporate support with the Process Improvement Group from Scott Thesing, George Spencer, Glenn Copen, Ken Bissett, and Jon Hammock.

KeyLogic was assisted through the CMMI process by iPower LLC, an approved Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) partner who is dedicated to providing cost effective, on-target strategic and performance management planning services.

KeyLogic’s goal throughout this process was not simply to receive a positive rating, but to push the best practices that were developed company-wide. The next steps include bringing projects from the other two business units, Program Management and Portfolio and Performance Management, into the CMMI process model and to then pursue Maturity Level 3.
