The Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI^SM) is designed to provide benchmark quality ratings relative to Capability Maturity Model^®Integration (CMMI^®) models. The role of the SCAMPI Lead Appraiser, who conducts the SCAMPI process, has developed into a distinct profession that encompasses a wide and deep array of competencies. The SCAMPI Lead Appraiser Body of Knowledge (SLA BOK) provides a multi-dimensional view of the competencies and associated skills that are needed to be a successful SCAMPI Lead Appraiser. The SLA BOK is a driver for the SEI Appraisal Program's approach to ensure quality of SCAMPI appraisals. It establishes a comprehensive basis for curriculum, training, certification, observation, and quality assurance programs.
