Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI)

ARC ID ARC Requirement MDD Process MDD Activity Notes/Comments
4.5.4.c (AB) At least one of the two data points must reflect work actually
being done (e.g., process area implementation).
2.2 Verify and Validate
Objective Evidence
2.2.1 Verify Objective
Evidence
In SCAMPI v1.1, this is addressed by requirements
for a direct artifact from each
project for each practice (2.2.1). Affirmations
also reflect work being done, but are not necessarily
required from each project for each
practice; affirmations are used to corroborate
direct artifacts.
4.5.5 The method shall require a mechanism for determining that
sufficient data has been collected to cover the scope of the appraisal,
according to the following minimum set of rules:
4.5.5.a
4.5.5.a.1
2.2 Verify and Validate
Objective Evidence
(A) A specific or generic practice has sufficient data coverage if 2.2 Verify and Validate
validated observations exist for the practice and

are adequate to understand the extent of implementation of the
practice
2.2 Verify and Validate

4.5.5.a.2 are representative of the organizational unit 2.2 Verify and Validate

4.5.5.a.3
4.5.5.b

are representative of the life-cycle phases in use within the
organizational unit
2.2 Verify and Validate
Objective Evidence
(A) In a staged representation, a process area has sufficient data 2.2 Verify and Validate
coverage if all of its specific and generic practices have sufficient
data coverage.
Objective Evidence
(A) In a continuous representation, a process area has sufficient 2.2 Verify and Validate
data coverage if all of its specific practices and the generic Objective Evidence
practices within the appraisal scope have sufficient data coverage
up through the capability level being investigated for the
process area (e.g., the target capability level).
4.5.6 (A) The method shall require a mechanism for consolidating
observations into draft findings of strengths and weaknesses
relative to the appraisal reference model.

Implementation Gaps
Coverage is addressed by requirements for
objective evidence from each project for each
practice (2.2.1). See also 1.5.3, Replan Data
Collection, for collection of additional objective
evidence necessary to obtain sufficient
coverage.
See 3.1.3 for selection of instantiations representative
of the organizational unit.
See also descriptions of documenting objective
evidence in 3.8, and rating in 3.9.
Preliminary findings are described in 3.7.3.
