Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI)

2.4 Generate Appraisal Results
Purpose
Rate goal satisfaction based upon the extent of practice implementation
throughout the organizational unit. The extent of practice implementation is
judged based on validated data (e.g., direct, indirect, and affirmation objective
evidence) collected from the entire representative sample of the organizational
unit. The rating of capability levels and/or maturity levels is driven by the
goal satisfaction ratings.
Entry Criteria The set of validated preliminary findings, statements of practice
implementation gaps, and/or tabulations of validated objective evidence of
practice implementation on which they are based are available. Team
members are confident that they have obtained all the pertinent data they will
need to make rating judgments. The data obtained completely covers the
practices within the defined CMMI model scope and the entire representative
sample selected for the organizational unit.
Inputs

planned to be rated, and for which the team obtained complete or sufficient
data
Ratings against all components per the plan have been made and recorded.
