I have been involved in the CMMI initiative at Zone24x7 from the very beginning and after more than 2 years of hard work from the entire Zone team, we had a final assessment for CMMI Maturity level 3. I am pleased that I had the opportunity to participate in the 3 day official program ‘Introduction to CMMI’ which was conducted by our consultants. My most recent involvement was to take part in the final asssessment as an ‘Appraisal Team Member’ or ATM for Zone.

I must say that the consultant (Lead Appraiser) was extremely resourcefull and had lot of tips, best practices etc..to share with us which was a Bonus for us. The final assessment was a gruelling 2 week episode which required lot of concentration and attention to detail.

From that last two weeks of Assessment work.. my take home message is just one Acronym…

MBM (Metrics Based Management). :)
