In the software enterprise qualification category, CMMI software capability maturity assessment is a difficult and complex assessment project. In recent years, thousands of enterprises in China conduct CMMI software capability maturity assessment every year and pass it successfully. In addition to the enterprises evaluated for the first time, there are still a certain proportion of enterprises that need to be reviewed and upgraded. There are many companies that want to continue this certificate, so they need to conduct a review. Today, the editor of Wuhan Haodi Technology will tell you about this issue.
The CMMI grade is valid for 3 years. Before the expiration, the enterprise must consider the issue of review, otherwise the obtained grade will become invalid, and the official website of the institute will delete the company's information. In order to effectively prepare for grade continuation, companies need to prepare in advance for re-examination, that is, re-evaluation.
1. Pay attention to the time to prevent the certificate from becoming invalid
According to the regulations of the Institute, a CMMI 2.0 Level 3 assessment takes about 3-4 months from start-up, to consultation, to on-site assessment. After the on-site assessment, the institute will start a quality review of the assessment to ensure that the assessment is carried out as required. The CMMI Research Institute stated in its report in July 2021 that the current evaluation and review time has reached about 70 days. Adding these two time periods together, the overall cycle is about 5-7 months.
The high-level evaluation period is longer. In order to ensure the quality of CMMI consultation, Tuyun Information usually invests about 5-8 months in Level 4 and Level 5 enterprises based on the actual research and development of enterprises.
Therefore, the re-examination enterprises should pay attention to the expiration time of the current grade certificate, arrange the re-examination plan reasonably, and start the re-examination work as soon as possible.
2. A good chief appraiser is a seat belt for a smooth appraisal
In the certification industry, excellent consultants and evaluators are very popular. Not only are they rich in experience, they are willing to conduct technical exchanges with enterprises, but they are also approachable. Provide effective advice.
And good assessment teachers are always welcome. They usually make the work arrangements for the next quarter (level 3) or even the next year (level 4, 5) in advance, which means that if the enterprise starts too late, it will It was found that there were no good appraisers to choose from. This may lead to the entire certification process being much more cumbersome than imagined, increasing the workload, and even working overtime to continuously update information, constant troubles, and finally low satisfaction.
