3 Objective This presentation shows the Software Engineering Framework that EDS utilizes at its Applications Development and Maintenance Centers in Brazil that supports the measurement requirements of the CMMI model thru level 5. During the presentation you will learn the basics and advanced measurement requirements from the CMMI model and see how EDS implemented the processes and procedures to support these requirements. CMMI is registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office by Carnegie Mellon University. page 3

30 Lessons Learned. M&A/OPP/QPM will force you to create a structured process for Strategic Business Planning. If you don t have it will be very difficult to implement M&A/OPP/QPM practices 2. Have a long-term strategy to store measurement data, not only M&A but also SPC data. 3. Have an integrated set of tools supporting your Software Engineering projects, otherwise metrics collection will be a nightmare. 4. Reduce the effort, as much as you can, for metrics collection process, if possible, collect at the same time that the task is being performed. 5. Do specialize people on SPC, Six Sigma otherwise levels 4 and 5 will be a very hard journey. Consider to have statisticians around. 6. Excel will not be sufficient in many cases for QPM/OPP. 7. Do start with few performance indicators and then sophisticate and add additional ones, please remember, they must be aligned to companies s goals/objectives. 00 performance indicators will not allow you to take any conclusion. 8. Keep these indicators stable, as much as possible, so that you can analyze them periodically. 9. Do not individualize data at personal level, particularly on QPM/OPP analysis where sub-process analysis may lead you to see detailed data on people. page 30
