1.3.1 Identify Team Leader (continued)<br />

Implementation<br />

Guidance<br />

<strong>SCAMPI</strong> Lead Appraisers, by definition, will have participated on a<br />

minimum of three appraisals (two as an appraisal team member and one as an<br />

appraisal team leader). These requirements are outlined in the SEI Lead<br />

Appraiser program. An additional consideration impacting team experience<br />

requirements, however, is the appraisal usage mode <strong>for</strong> <strong>SCAMPI</strong>. Additional<br />

experience may be necessary <strong>for</strong> the appraisal team leader and/or appraisal<br />

team members if the appraisal is <strong>for</strong> Supplier Selection and/or <strong>Process</strong><br />

Monitoring or if it will focus heavily on one of the other available disciplines<br />

or environments, such as acquisition or Integrated Product and <strong>Process</strong><br />

Development. Similarly, if the appraisal will be used in a high maturity<br />

organization (maturity levels 4-5 or capability levels 4-5), special experience,<br />

training, and/or expertise (e.g., statistical process control) may be necessary<br />

<strong>for</strong> that specific appraisal.<br />

<strong>Appraisal</strong> team leader responsibilities are defined and described throughout<br />

the <strong>SCAMPI</strong> MDD, but a summary overview of these responsibilities<br />

includes the following:<br />

• Confirm the sponsor’s commitment to proceed with the appraisal.<br />

• Ensure that appraisal participants are briefed on the purpose, scope, and<br />

approach of the appraisal.<br />

• Ensure that all appraisal team members have the appropriate experience,<br />

knowledge, and skills in the appraisal reference model and in <strong>SCAMPI</strong>.<br />

• Ensure that the appraisal is conducted in accordance with the documented<br />

<strong>SCAMPI</strong> method.<br />

• Verify and document that the appraisal method requirements have been<br />

met.<br />

The appraisal team leader may be selected at any time in the appraisalplanning<br />

phase; preferably, the appraisal team leader is selected upon<br />

initiation of appraisal activities so that he or she may participate in analyzing<br />

the requirements with the appraisal sponsor. In any event, the appraisal team<br />

leader should be identified in time to (a) review and approve the appraisal<br />

plan with the appraisal sponsor prior to beginning the on-site portion of the<br />

appraisal, and (b) ensure adequate planning and the preparation of appraisal<br />

team members.<br />
