1.Objective
To achieve CMMI Level 2 in the next three months, we will focus on process improvement
initiatives, specifically targeting the Process Areas (PAs) required at this level. Here's a
strategic plan broken down into phases for the next three months:
2.Month 1: Assessment and Requirement Management
Implementation
Goal: Build the foundation for Requirement Management (RM) and establish baselines for
other key processes.
2.1 Gap Analysis and Assessment:
 Conduct a comprehensive gap analysis of the current processes against CMMI Level 2
requirements.
 Identify the areas where your current processes are not aligned with CMMI Level 2.
 Create a detailed action plan based on the gap analysis findings.
2.1 Requirement Management (RM):
 Process Definition: Develop and document a standard process for Requirement Management
(RM). This includes:
 Defining requirements gathering, validation, and approval processes.
 Creating templates and tools to capture requirements.
 Establishing baselines and traceability mechanisms.
 Training: Train all relevant teams (QA, development, business analysts) on the RM process
and its importance in CMMI Level 2 compliance.
 Pilot RM Process: Run a pilot of the RM process on a few projects to ensure the process works
and is well-understood.

 Process Asset Library (PAL):
o Begin collecting documentation, process templates, and examples that will go into your
PAL to standardize future project work.
o Create a repository for process documentation and resources.
3.Month 2: Project Planning (PP) and Monitoring
Goal: Develop and implement Project Planning and Project Monitoring practices.
Project Planning (PP):
 Develop a Project Planning Process: Define and document processes for project
estimation, resource allocation, scheduling, risk management, and stakeholder engagement.
 Create Work Breakdown Structures (WBS): Standardize the WBS for projects to ensure
consistent and repeatable planning processes.
 Risk Management Framework: Introduce a risk management framework within the
planning phase, identifying potential risks and mitigation strategies.
 Pilot Project Planning Process: Roll out the project planning process for 1-2 projects,
ensuring that teams are using the process correctly.
Project Monitoring and Control (PMC):
 Define Monitoring Practices: Implement processes for tracking project progress, cost,
schedule, and performance. Introduce dashboards and reporting mechanisms for regular
monitoring.
 Project Reviews: Establish a cadence for project reviews to ensure alignment with plans.
 Metrics Collection: Begin collecting metrics on project performance, resource utilization,
and delivery timelines. Use these metrics to assess process improvement opportunities.
Training and Awareness:
 Conduct additional training sessions for Project Managers on Project Planning and Monitoring
best practices, emphasizing alignment with CMMI Level 2.

Stakeholder Involvement:
 Involve stakeholders (project sponsors, department heads) in process rollouts, ensuring that
they understand and support the changes.
4.Month 3: Configuration Management (CM) and
Process Integration
Goal: Solidify Configuration Management and integrate all processes into the organizational workflow.
Configuration Management (CM):
 Define CM Process: Establish a configuration management plan, ensuring all project
artifacts, source codes, and deliverables are managed under version control.
 Change Control Mechanism: Implement change control processes to track and manage
changes in project baselines, configurations, and requirements.
 CM Tool Implementation: If needed, implement a tool (e.g., Git, SVN) for tracking
configurations, changes, and versions. Provide necessary training on using the tool.
Process Standardization and Refinement:
 Refine Processes: Based on the results from piloting the RM, PP, and PMC processes,
refine them to ensure smooth integration into everyday operations.
 Integrate with Organizational Processes: Ensure all the new processes (RM, PP, PMC,
CM) are fully integrated with your organization's existing workflows.
 Documentation and Audits: Finalize documentation for all implemented processes and
ensure that project teams are adhering to the standards. Prepare for internal audits to
ensure compliance.
Management Review and Internal Audit Preparation:
 Conduct a management review of the progress toward CMMI Level 2. Identify any areas
needing improvement before formal appraisal.
 Prepare for an internal audit of the processes to ensure compliance with CMMI Level 2
requirements. Address any findings or gaps from the audit.

5.End of Month 3:
Internal Audit and Corrective Actions: Perform internal assessments to ensure all process
areas meet CMMI Level 2 requirements. Correct any deficiencies and make final preparations
for the formal CMMI Level 2 appraisal.
6.Key Process Areas for CMMI Level 2:
 Requirements Management (RM)
 Project Planning (PP)
 Project Monitoring and Control (PMC)
 Configuration Management (CM)
 Measurement and Analysis (MA)
 Process and Product Quality Assurance (PPQA)
 Supplier Agreement Management (SAM) – if applicable
By the end of these three months, we will have all the foundational processes in place for a
successful CMMI Level 2 appraisal.
