Summary

Deploy organizational process assets across the organization.

Description

Deploying organizational process assets or changes to them should be performed in an orderly manner. Some organizational process assets or changes to them may not be appropriate for use in some parts of the organization (e.g., because of stakeholder requirements or the current lifecycle phase being implemented). It is therefore important that those who are or will be executing the process, as well as other organization functions (e.g., training, quality assurance), be involved in deployment as necessary.

Refer to the Organizational Process Definition (OPD) (CMMI-DEV) process area for more information aboutestablishing organizational process assets.

Subpractices



1. Deploy organizational process assets across the organization.

Typical activities performed as a part of the deployment of process assets include the following:

  • Identifying organizational process assets that should be adopted by those who perform the process
  • Determining how organizational process assets are made available (e.g., via a website)
  • Identifying how changes to organizational process assets are communicated
  • Identifying resources (e.g., methods, tools) needed to support the use of organizational process assets
  • Planning the deployment
  • Assisting those who use organizational process assets
  • Ensuring that training is available for those who use organizational process assets


Refer to the Organizational Training (OT) (CMMI-DEV) process area for more information about about establishing an organizational training capability.



2. Document changes to organizational process assets.

Documenting changes to organizational process assets serves two main purposes:

  • To enable the communication of changes
  • To understand the relationship of changes in the organizational process assets to changes in process performance and results



3. Deploy changes that were made to organizational process assets across the organization.

 

Typical activities performed as a part of deploying changes include the following:
  • Determining which changes are appropriate for those who perform the process
  • Planning the deployment
  • Arranging for the support needed for the successful transition of changes



4. Provide guidance and consultation on the use of organizational process assets.
