There are three classes of CMMI Appraisal Methods: Class A, Class B, and Class C.
SCAMPI Class A Appraisal
SCAMPI A is the most rigorous method and the only method that can result in a rating.You can expect following outcomes from a SCAMPI A:
A Maturity Level rating or Capability Level ratings.
Findings that describe the strengths and weaknesses of your organization's process relative to the CMMI.
Consensus regarding the organization's key process issues.
An appraisal database that the organization can continue to use to monitor process improvement progress and to support future appraisals.
SCAMPI Class B Appraisal
SCAMPI B provides options in model scope, but the characterization of practices is fixed to one scale and is performed on implemented practices.You can expect following outcomes from a SCAMPI B:
Detailed findings that describe the strengths and weaknesses of your organization's process relative to the CMMI.
Practice characterizations indicating the likelihood that the examined practices would satisfy the goals and meet the intent of the CMMI.
Consensus regarding the organization's key process issues.
A FIDO database that the organization can continue to use to monitor process improvement progress and to support future appraisals.
SCAMPI Class C Appraisal
SCAMPI C provides a wide range of options, including characterization of planned approaches to process implementation according to a scale defined by the user.SCAMPI C appraisals are often performed for reasons such as:
Provide a quick gap analysis of an organization's process relative to the CMMI.
Assess the adequacy of a new process before it is implemented.
Monitor the implementation of a process.
Determine an organization's readiness for a SCAMPI A.
Support the selection of a supplier.
You can expect following outcomes from a SCAMPI C:
Findings that describe the strengths and weaknesses of the assessed processes. Depending on the appraisal scope and strategy, findings may be mapped to the relevant CMMI components.
Characterizations that summarize the adequacy of the assessed processes vis-?-vis the CMMI.
Recommended process improvement actions.
A FIDO database that the organization can continue to use to monitor process improvement progress and to support future appraisals.
