Exercise 12.1

How would you rate your project team on:

  1. its CMM maturity level? What would it take to move it to the next level?
  2. its management of the CMMI core process areas (focus on those listed in the guide)? In which of these areas would you most like to improve?

Exercise 12.2

What metrics could we collect on your team projects to measure the following things?

  • Product
  • Process

How would you characterize your metrics on these scales?

  • Objective vs Subjective
  • Direct vs Indirect
  • Public vs Private

Should we use these metrics when grading either teams or individuals? If so, which ones? If not, why not?
