Abstract

Summary

  • Both approaches motivate the thinking in "perfect/lean" processes and allow the use of common terminology.
  • LEAN allows to see "waste."
  • CMMI has built-in mechanisms to avoid "waste."
  • CMMi forms an enhanced toolbox to implement LEAN thinking in development/service/acquisition environments.
  • CMMi provides a clear roadmap for process orientation both on project and organizational level.
  • LEAN is supported by CMMI via the concept of institutionalization and organizational learning.
  • Both require commitment and pro-active leadership on all management hierarchies.

Please note that current and future CMMI research, training, and information has been transitioned to the CMMI Institute, a wholly owned subsidiary of ISACA.
