Staged Representation<br />

Examples of techniques to help determine and prioritize the possible<br />

improvements to be implemented include the following: [PA152.IG101.SP103.SubP102.N102]<br />

• A gap analysis that compares current conditions in the organization with optimal<br />

conditions<br />

• Force-field analysis of potential improvements to identify potential barriers and<br />

strategies for overcoming those barriers<br />

• Cause-and-effect analyses to provide information on the potential effects of<br />

different improvements that can then be compared<br />

3. Identify and document the process improvements that will be<br />

implemented. [PA152.IG101.SP103.SubP103]<br />

4. Revise the list of planned process improvements to keep it current.<br />

[PA152.IG101.SP103.SubP104]<br />

Plan and Implement Process-Improvement Activities<br />

Improvements are planned and implemented, organizational process assets<br />

are deployed, and process-related experiences are incorporated into the<br />

organizational process assets. [PA152.IG102]<br />

Successful implementation of improvements requires participation in the<br />

process definition and improvement activities by process owners, those<br />

performing the process, and support organizations. [PA152.IG102.N101]<br />

SP 2.1<br />

Establish Process Action Plans<br />

Establish and maintain process action plans to address<br />

improvements to the organization's processes and process<br />

assets. [PA152.IG102.SP101]<br />

Establishing and maintaining process action plans typically involves the<br />

following roles: [PA152.IG102.SP101.N101]<br />

• Management steering committees to set strategies and oversee<br />

process-improvement activities<br />

• Process group staff to facilitate and manage the processimprovement<br />

activities<br />

• Process action teams to define and implement the improvement<br />

• Process owners to manage the deployment<br />

• Practitioners to perform the process<br />

This involvement helps to obtain buy-in on the process improvements<br />

and increases the likelihood of effective deployment. [PA152.IG102.SP101.N102]<br />
