A Culture of Process
Improvement
Motivation for Process Improvement
Never want to be satisfied with status quo
Need to create culture of continuous
process improvement
Need to create a culture of “BE BETTER”
for both us and our clients
ML 3 as Business Imperative for
CVP

Affords us the Ability to Compete in
Federal Marketplace
Provides Improved Project Performance
CMMI-SVC vs CMMI-DEV
Services is one of the hubs of our
organization
Less firms using CMMI-SVC which makes
CVP more unique
Clients understand that we aren’t going to
build and then bolt

The Transition from CMMIDEV to CMMI-SVC
1. “Dual” Gap Analysis performed by PI-
21 – examined current state against
both DEV and SVC Constellations
2. Many of the items in SVC were being
done because they are a natural fit for
professional services
3. The path to SVC was perceived to be
faster and more beneficial

Services Constellation
Benefits
CVP’s clients want to KNOW:
We will be here tomorrow and two years from now, no matter
what (SCON)
We will be able to provide the people they need, when they
need them and that those folks will have the resources they
need (CAM)
We manage change and ensure they’re on board with what is
happening (SST)
When the going gets tough, the tough get smarter – (IRP)
Our approach is well thought out and meaningful – not
something from the back of an envelope in response to their
SOW (SD)

Rationale for CMMI-SVC
Market Differentiator
Case Study – CIO SP3
1 = L5, 42 = L3 and 4 = L2
Only 6 (independent of L)
are SVC
As our client’s understand
SVC better this may
become an important
competitive advantage.

Lessons Learned
CMMI-SVC works for Professional
Services
Some PAs seem to make more sense at
the Org level vs. project level
A centralized quality team with broad
authority to define, monitor and teach
dramatically improves outcomes
