CMMI®
Gap Analysis (CGA) |
CGA
to study the current level of process maturity and to identify
the Gaps between the current processes vis-a-vis the KPA's of
CMMI®. The Gap Analysis also helps us in prioritizing and
scheduling the various consulting and training requirements. |
| 3 |
Action
Planning |
This
phase comes immediately after the Gap Analysis in which an Action
Plan is drawn up for the future course of activities with specific
milestones and deliverables. This action plan is drawn with
the joint consensus of the organization (senior management +
SEPGSM team) and the consultant. |
