With the help of the Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI), many organizations have made improvements in their software and systems processes and practices. They have also discovered that their continued improvement requires significant changes in the way they manage people.
The People CMM is a maturity framework that describes the key elements of managing and developing the workforce of an organization. It describes an evolutionary improvement path from an ad hoc approach to managing the work-force, to a mature, disciplined development of the knowledge, skills, and motivation of the people that fuels enhanced business performance.
The People CMM helps organizations to
- characterize the maturity of their human resource practices
- set priorities for improving the competence of its work-force
- integrate competence growth with process improvement
- establish a culture of workforce excellence
The People--CMM publications and training will support incorporating people management capabilities into software improvement programs by communicating a model that complements the Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI), and by making available an appraisal method that can be used alone or integrated with existing process appraisal methods.
The People CMM is designed to guide organizations in selecting activities for improving their workforce practices based on the current maturity of their workforce practices. By concentrating on a focused set of practices and working aggressively to install them, organizations can steadily improve their level of talent and make continuous and lasting gains in their performance. The People CMM guides an organization through a series of increasingly sophisticated practices and techniques for developing its overall work-force. These practices have been chosen from experience as those that have significant impact on individual, team, and organizational performance.
