The business needs for process improvement drive the requirements for an assessment. The
business needs for process improvement generally include one or more of three closely related
factors: reducing costs, improving quality, and decreasing time to market. The fundamental
assumption is that these factors are largely determined by the development processes.
Since the CBA IPI method is designed to support a variety of assessment needs, the results of
a CBA IPI can support a variety of activities that require detailed knowledge about the
strengths and weaknesses of the software process, such as
• establishing software process action plans
• measuring actual progress against action plans
• identifying best (most effective) practices within the organization for transition elsewhere
in the organization
The CBA IPI method must build on an organization’s commitment established during previous
phase(s) of the software process improvement cycle. To support the goal of enabling and supporting
an organization’s commitment to process improvement, the assessment team and
assessment participants must understand the sponsor’s business goals and allow for a collaborative
shaping of the assessment scope. It is important that the organization owns and “buys
in” to the assessment results, identifying the most critical issues (CMM and non-CMM) that
need to be addressed to sustain momentum for the follow-on activities.
