This document discusses using CMMI-SVC to lead organizational improvement efforts across multiple divisions or groups within a large organization. It provides background on how such organizations are typically structured as matrix organizations or groups of independent business units. The challenge is that separate process improvements are being done in different parts of the system/product lifecycle without an overall view of interactions. The proposed solution is to use CMMI-SVC as an umbrella standard to increase effectiveness, reduce costs, and improve lifecycle management. Key process areas from CMMI-SVC like Strategic Service Management, Service System Development, and Capacity and Availability Management were particularly useful. Gap analyses were performed between the organization's standards and CMMI-SVC.

4. Background
• Complex and large organizations or
divisions that run a system / product
lifecycle End to End, using in their process
improvements journeys more than just ‘one’
CMMI or one quality related standard.
• Our experience shows that these
organizations are typically structured as
matrix organizations, with functional teams
or as a complex of independent smaller
business units.
14. The Challenge
• This situation where the organization is running
• separate process improvements on different parts of the
system / product lifecycle
• With partial overall view in interactions and
handshakes between these groups is introducing
inefficient usage of
• resources,
• expensive maintenance of duplicate infrastructures
• and Organizational Sets of Standards Processes as well as
assets,
• May result in less quality and impacting the
competitive edge with their global counterparts.
15. The Proposed Solution Concept
• Using the CMMI-SVC as an overall
umbrella, to:
• Increase results and effectiveness
• Reduce quality related activities costs by
reducing overlaps and choosing the appropriate
parts only as part of the ‘whole’
• Reduce administration costs by improving the
ability to manage the lifecycle network
• Converged working network helps businesses
to save procurement costs of infrastructure
16. Organizational Background
Brief
• Senior manager
• 15 ‘Division’ managers
• ~80 Mid Level mangers
• ~X000 project / program / acquisition and
line mangers
• X0,000 working level staff relevant to the
effort

19. Organizational Background
Main Related Quality Standards

• ISO 20000
• ISO 27001 & 27002
• ISO 9001
• Other SEI technologies (RMM / P-CMM / TSP / PSP)
20. The Approach to the Solution
Concept
• Best practices in the model focus on activities for
providing quality services to the customer and end
users
• To identify improvement targets in main lifecycle
areas such as operations, information, governance,
people and organizational structure, portfolios,
project execution, and finance
• Select processes that are critical to the system
success such as stakeholder management,
technical interfaces and integration
21. The Approach to the Solution
Concept
• Build an action plan composed from the following main
steps
• Organizational map
• Functional team and groups size and role in the lifecycle
• Full lifecycle map
• Setting improvement targets
• Gap analysis
• Suggesting to the senior management to address the
lifecycle and process (as a whole) as a complex of crossing
services and to add additional content to the lifecycle map
(as a layer) and content in the guideline that will define the
different interactions as services
22. Sample Improvement Targets
• Service reuse
• Improved perception and response time
• Interoperability
• Business agility.
• Service performance and its impact on the
organization governance
