Using Lean Six Sigma to Accelerate CMMI® Implementation. by Diane A. Glaser of US Army CECOM LCMC SEC Communication Software Engineering Support Division and Michael D. Barnett of ASQ SSGB, MTC Technologies, Inc. Abstract: Are you thinking about using CMMI or conducting a CMMI-based appraisal and arriving at Maturity Level X soon? Or maybe you are burned out with CMMI and are looking for a fresh perspective? Here are some lessons learned that can help you spend your efforts well and avoid some common hazards on your journey. The celebrations are over; we achieved an enterprise-wide CMMI Maturity Level 2. Now what? The Process Group is collecting lessons learned, and we need to further institutionalize our processes as we move on to Maturity Level 3. At the same time, the Army has mandated that Lean Six Sigma (LSS) be used to facilitate improvement. The US Army Materiel Command issued a policy letter that recognizes that the Warfighter is our ultimate customer, to focus on projects that have high value to our customer, and to use LSS as the continuous improvement "starting point" while adapting other best practices to unique demands. How can we leverage our newly trained Green Belts and Black Belts in expediting our process improvement efforts? This is the unfolding story of the Communications-Electronics Life Cycle Management Command’s Software Engineering Center in its endeavors in implementing continuous process improvement using LSS and CMMI. Main objectives of the presentation: |
