The Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model provides a framework
for assessing
the maturity of the project management components of a development process. These include:
|
CMMI Process Level
|
Project Management capabilities
|
|
Level 5: Optimizing
|
|
|
Level 4: Qualitatively Managed
|
QPM: Quantative Project Management
|
|
Level 3: Defined
|
IPM: Integrated Project Management
RSKM: Risk Management
IT: Integrated teaming
ISM: Integrated Supplier Management
|
|
Level 2: Managed
|
PP: Project Planning
PMC: Project Managing and Control
SAM: Supplier Agreement Management
|
|
Level 1: Initial
|
|
This CMMI approach to Project Management assessment is useful in that questions can
be asked
about any project management process. These question focus the users on self- assessment
rather than methodology development.
