1.1.3 Determine <strong>Appraisal</strong> Scope<br />

Activity<br />

Description<br />

Required<br />

Practices<br />

The appraisal scope consists of the reference model scope and the<br />

organizational scope to be examined during the appraisal. The model scope<br />

must be determined and documented early in the planning process, using the<br />

staged representation or the continuous representation. The appraisal team<br />

leader is responsible <strong>for</strong> ensuring that the sponsor makes an in<strong>for</strong>med choice<br />

regarding the PAs included in the scope of the appraisal and the model<br />

representation. The selection of appraisal outputs should be driven by the<br />

understanding of their intended use, established during the requirements<br />

analysis activity, and may dictate some selections in model scope. The<br />

organizational scope defines the bounds of the organization to be investigated<br />

during the appraisal. Instantiations (i.e., <strong>for</strong> practices implemented by<br />

projects, each project; <strong>for</strong> practices implemented organization-wide, the<br />

instance) are selected as representative of the organization and the contexts in<br />

which processes are implemented.<br />

Reconciling the interactions between model scope and organization scope is<br />

an important part of this activity. A particular organization scope begets a<br />

particular model scope; a particular model scope requires a particular<br />

organization scope.<br />

• Determine and document the reference model scope and representation to<br />

be used <strong>for</strong> the appraisal.<br />

• Determine and document the organizational unit to be investigated during<br />

the appraisal.<br />
