CMMI Level 5
-
The Company I work for just achived CMMI level 5!!!! :-D We just completed the audit a few minutes ago, but we had worked for years to get to that point. I'm just so glad this audit is over and we don't have to be audited again for 3 years! What does this mean to our company...I'm told there was a business case for it. What that business case is I'm not sure. But the president of the company wanted it so we did it. I just wanted to share. Since it's about 1 pm here and the audit if finished, I think I'll go home early. Joe Q

I think it tells prospective customers that you care for quality and that you are methodical :-) A lot of service companies in India go for certifications like this to market themselves better. Cheers Smitha

DoD work? They need all paper trails to have signed, notarized paper trails. It's easier to spend tons of cash that way, doncha know. :) My company's at CMM 3. Repeatability of process in a big IT organization is a Good Thing, but you lose a bit of efficiency and speed of implementation at the same time. Good always comes with a bit of bad, though.

An external quality certification, to me, mean 'we do a bad job, and it's not our fault'.

By the end of CMM you learn to go home early :). That is CMM!

So.. what's CMMI Level 5 good for? Something to impress the ladies with in the bar? ;)

I guess this is CMM 3. CMM 5 goes beyond that :)

Nice. AFAIK, we've never done a formal evaluation, but based on a quick Google Code Search vanity search, it appears the code i'm writing now is still young at heart. :->

CMM 5 is sorta different - once you reach 5, it means you are good enough to define your own quality standards.

There are several levels in the CMM. Once they acheive it, Client feels somewhat comfortable in dealing with those companies. Not to mention, there are cases, where companies lobbied evaluators to achieve CMM. All in the game!

Yeah - except you now have CMM recognition :-) It's very similar to the Windows UI development. We had flat ugly UIs in Windows 3.1, that got improved in 98, and got really good in 2000. Then XP came out with cartoonish UIs, and now Vista gives us dreadful VB4-style UIs and everything's semi-transparent, so you can't read anything etc.

Yeah, i know. I'm sure it's a good warm fuzzy thing to claim if you're a consulting firm.

So is that 5 pages of documentation for every line of code you write? :-D
