2. Is the software subcontractors planned budget consistent with the effort and schedule required to develop that portion of the software and with the project software development plan?
   
   

3. Has the software planning process resulted in a software development plan that has the planned budget, effort, and schedule consistent with each other and the software requirements?
   
   

4. Does the system requirement in the Software maintenance process activities allocated to software used to establish a baseline for software engineering and management use?
   
   

5. Is the actual performance of the subcontractor outside the range of planned completions thereby indicating schedule slippage and the necessity for a replanning effort?
   
   

6. Are the software subcontractors planned budget, effort, and schedule consistent with each other, the software requirements, and the software development plan?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any CMM project with this in-depth CMM Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose CMM projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in CMM and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make CMM investments work better.

This CMM All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
