Systematic process improvement using ISO 9001:2000 and CMMI

106 Revised Frameworks: ISO 9001:2000 and the CMMI ®
plans. By monitoring progress and the effect of changing conditions, corrective
actions can be taken.
Monitoring does not focus solely on schedule progress. It also addresses
areas such as risks, requirements changes, planning parameters (for example,
size or complexity), staffing, and dependencies.
Specific practices SP 1.1 through SP 1.5 support generic practices GP 2.6
and GP 2.7 in all PAs.

Why is this important
The SAM PA starts with the decision to acquire products and services rather
than to produce them. This decision may be driven by one or more other
PAs, primarily the Technical Solution and Project Planning PAs.
First, qualified suppliers are identified and agreements are established.
Then the supplier’s performance is monitored and the products evaluated,
accepted, and integrated into the project.
Integrated Project Management
The purpose of integrated project management is to establish and manage the
project and the involvement of the relevant stakeholders according to an
integrated and defined process that is tailored from the organization’s set
of standard processes.
