For More Information
The CMMI Appraisal Program has developed a Web page for the voluntary publication of SCAMPI Class A appraisal results. The list of published CMMI v1.1 and CMMI v1.2 Appraisal Results can be found there.
To have an appraisal's results published, the Lead Appraiser must submit a complete Appraisal Report Package to the SEI Appraisal System (SAS). Once the appraisal data is complete and submitted, and after it passes the quality review, the information may be published at the appraisal sponsor's request. This request is made by having the sponsor initial their authorization in the designated area on the SAS-generated Appraisal Disclosure Statement that must be submitted with the appraisal record.
Purpose of this List
The intent and purpose of providing this list is as follows:
- to demonstrate use of the models and appraisal methods developed by the SEI
- as a public service to the engineering community to assist in their improvement efforts
Inappropriate Uses of this List
- This list cannot be used as a form of certification or verification by the organization listed as proof of their maturity rating. Please read "About Verification" below.
- This list cannot be perceived as an indicator of an exact count of organizations in the world that are using SEI models or appraisal methods. Nor will it indicate precisely how many companies there are at the various maturity levels.
- This is not an all inclusive list, but a voluntary publication of results. An all inclusive list that has a high degree of accuracy does not exist to our knowledge and the SEI has no intention to provide support for such a task.
- When using this list as input for decisions regarding your future process improvement efforts, be aware that if a particular organization is not listed, it does not necessarily mean they are not also performing process improvement or have stopped at a certain level.
About Certification
The terms "SEI certified" and "CMMI® certification" are not valid terms and indicate conditions that do not exist for the following reasons:
About Verification
The intended purpose of the SEI models and appraisal methods is for self improvement. The goal is to raise the level of quality of the products developed while providing a better ability to predict the time and budget needed for development. Achievement of this goal focuses on the creation of an environment to support the ability to reliably develop products in a repeatable fashion with continual improvement.
For most models developed by the SEI there are two basic appraisal approaches:
- for Self-Improvement
- for Evaluation
When done for evaluation, the organization may be performing the appraisal for source selection and verification of another organization's appraisal results or maturity level. The Published Appraisal Results Web site does not verify appraisal results presented by our Lead Appraisers. Therefore, the Web site is not a suitable replacement for source selection and verification appraisal efforts.
It is also important to know that maintaining a certain maturity status is a continuous process. Therefore, once a certain level is reached, ongoing appraisals are required to assure that a maturity level is being maintained over time.
