2.4.3b Determine Maturity Level Activity Description Required Practices Parameters and Limits Optional Practices Implementation Guidance Historically, one of the most visible outcomes of an appraisal has been the maturity level rating assigned. The determination of a maturity level rating is straightforward, and is derived mechanically from the ratings assigned at the lower levels of detail. Assigning a maturity level rating is an optional activity, selected at the discretion of the appraisal sponsor and documented in the appraisal input. Rate the maturity level based on the ratings assigned to PAs, if this rating option was selected during planning. The maturity level determined is the highest level at which all PAs contained within the maturity level, and within all lower maturity levels, are rated as Satisfied or Not Applicable. The single exception to this rule is that the maturity level 3 goal for each applicable maturity level 2 PA must also be rated Satisfied for a maturity level rating of 3 or higher to be determined. When using continuous representations, CMMI provides for equivalent staging, whereby a Capability Profile can be used to derive an equivalent maturity level rating. A maturity level for a continuous representation is achieved if the Capability Profile is at or above the target profile for all PAs for that maturity level and all lower maturity levels in the equivalent staging, excepting those PAs that are designated as Not Applicable. The equivalence of particular Capability Profiles and particular maturity levels is addressed in an appendix to the CMMI model. To determine a maturity level as an output of the appraisal, the model scope of the appraisal must include the minimum set of PAs required by the CMMI model. Please refer to the tailoring section of the CMMI model for guidelines on what the minimally acceptable scope of the model is for each maturity level. None. This activity may be omitted entirely, as it is a tailoring option. If a maturity level is to be reported, the PA ratings that form the basis for the maturity level rating are derived as described in activity 2.4.2b, Determine Satisfaction of Process Areas.

2.4.4 Document Appraisal Results Activity Description Required Practices Parameters and Limits Optional Practices Implementation Guidance The results of the appraisal conduct must be documented for reporting. Verbal reports of the rating outcomes or face-to-face explanations of implementation gaps discovered by the team are not sufficient to communicate appraisal results. • Document the final findings. • Document the rating outcome(s). • Document the Appraisal Disclosure Statement (ADS). The ADS and the set of appraisal outputs agreed upon with the appraisal sponsor must be documented. These appraisal outputs may exclude all ratings, and the sponsor is free to select and disclose a variety of appraisal outcomes, as specified in the activities of this process. Regardless of the needs of the sponsor, the ADS, the goal ratings, and the associated findings must be documented as a part of the appraisal information returned to the CMMI Steward. Any optional outputs requested by the appraisal sponsor are also created during this activity. This activity is focused on collecting and documenting the results of prior activities related to the generation of findings and ratings. Depending on the planned recipients of the results, multiple forms of the results may be needed. Certain data may not be appropriate for all audiences, or the style or language of the results may need to be adjusted to best fit the needs of the recipients. The documented appraisal results are typically provided in a final findings presentation, described in activity 3.1.1, Present Final Findings. CMU/SEI-2001-HB-001 Page II-121
