2.1.2 Examine Objective Evidence from Presentations Activity Description Required Practices Parameters and Limits Demonstrations of on-line tools, or libraries to be accessed by the appraisal team, are often the best way for members of the team to find the data and information they need. The history of process improvement in the organization or the status of current improvement projects can sometimes be best conveyed to the appraisal team in the form of a presentation. While the amount of data to be collected using presentations will be minimal, the ability to receive information and ask questions in real time makes this a valuable data collection technique. Objective evidence obtained from presentations, and from other sources, is documented in process 2.3, Document Objective Evidence, and verified in process 2.2, Verify and Validate Objective Evidence. • Receive presentations, if applicable, from the organizational unit. • Review information obtained from presentations and determine if it is acceptable as objective evidence. • Determine the model practices corresponding to the objective evidence obtained from presentations. • Determine the portions of the organizational unit that correspond to the objective evidence obtained from presentations. There is no requirement for one or more presentations to be included in the data collection plan. The team must permit presentations of information by knowledgeable members of the organization. Presentations may or may not be “required” by the team, depending on the appraisal usage mode and the appraisal objectives. It is not necessary that all team members be present at every presentation, though it may be advantageous. A minimum of two team members must be present in order to consider any presentation a valid data collection session. Team members take notes during presentations to document information for later use, as described in activity 2.3.1, Take/Review/Tag Notes. Continued on next page Page II-76 CMU/SEI-2001-HB-001
2.1.2 Examine Objective Evidence from Presentations (continued) Optional Practices Implementation Guidance Allow the organization to provide presentations or demonstrations of tools, as a means of providing objective evidence about the implementation of model practices. Establish a standardized boilerplate for the organizational unit, or projects within the organizational unit, to use in orienting the appraisal team. Presentations about the history of process improvement in an organization can be very revealing, and can help to shape the emphasis for further data collection. Demonstrations of tools supporting the process infrastructure are sometimes the most convenient means of communicating objective evidence. Tools that are commonly demonstrated include • requirements management and traceability tools • configuration management library • metrics database • process asset library and tools • process-related Web pages • computer-based training courses or training repositories • risk management databases A configuration management library often embodies the process by which engineers manage configurations. These engineers may take for granted that certain standards are enforced through the tool and be unable to explain what those standards are in the abstract. An organization’s metrics database can often embody the analytical techniques in use, as well as the communication channels that are supported across the organizational unit.
