What is CMMI®-SVC

� CMMI®-SVC is a set of best practices that help service organizations

to:

� Design the service

� Deploy and deliver the service

� Manage the service

� Retire and replace the service with a new one

� Has commonalities with other models� Like CMMI®-DEV, ITIL®, eSCM, CobiT etc.

� Usable by any service provider � BPO, IT Infra, Testing, Hotels, Hospitals, Travel, etc.



What is a Service as per CMMI®-SVC

• Services are useful, intangible and typically non-storable

results delivered through the operation of a service system.

• A service is • delivered through a service system

• integrated by combining multiple components

• that satisfies service requirements

• Service system consisting of multiple components � Processes & work products

� Tools & facilities

� Human resources

� Consumable items



Where can CMMI®-SVC be Used?

Let us understandthe process areas

and their inter-relationships




To deliver a new (or modified) service,we develop a service delivery system

DEVELOP AND VALIDATE THE SERVICESYSTEM

Collect service system requirements• Identify stakeholders• Collect needs, expectations, constraints• Develop service system requirements

Design and implement service system components• Select solutions• Design the system• Develop the components• Integrate the system

Verify and validate the components and the system• Plan for V & V• Perform verification and validation

Service System Development (SSD)




We systematically transition the new (or modified) service system till it goes “live”


Service System Transition (SST)

DEPLOY THE NEW/ MODIFIED SERVICESYSTEM

Plan and prepare for the transition

Deploy the system to the delivery environment• Systematically deploy as per transition plan• Manage the deployment (fine-tuning)




Once the service system goes “live”, we continue to provide the service

MANAGE SERVICE DELIVERY

Establish service agreement

Ensure preparation for service delivery

Deliver services aligned to agreements



Service Delivery (SD)







RESOLVE AND PREVENT INCIDENTSTHAT IMPACT SERVICE DELIVERY

Records incidents (events that negatively impact service delivery)

Manage immediate corrective actions

Reduce occurrence of selected incident types by addressing causes

Incident Resolution & Prevention (IRP)

In the “live” system we watch out for unwanted problems in delivery,

take immediate and long term actions








Strategic Service Management (STSM)

Periodically, we evaluate strategic needs and plans to establish and maintain

standard services

ALIGN SERVICES WITH STRATEGIC NEEDS &PLANS

Gather and analyze strategic needs

Understand services with respect to strategic needs

Define standard service description, properties and services levels

CMMI®-SVC Process AreasIn parallel, we set-up organizational

standard processes & training, to reduceduplication of effort in each service

project

SET UP ORGANIZATIONAL PROCESS/ TRAININGSTANDARDS

Identify processes to standardize

Define and rollout processes in a plannedmanner

Create repository of best practices, lessonslearnt

Create standards for work environment

Create and roll-out standardized training

CMMI®-SVC Process AreasOnce we have the standard processes,all new projects and services try to adhere

standards, and tailor only wherenecessary




INTERGRATE WORK/ PROJECTWITH STANDARDS

At Service Design & Re-design• Use standard processes• Use standard work environment• Use standard training• Use standard templates• Tailor only when necessary

Plan and monitor projects and services in a consistent manner

Use lessons learnt, risks and continuityplans of others

Do capacity planning as per organizational standards (or a explicitly tailored version)

Manage suppliers consistently

Manage requirements/ changes consistently

• At this stage,• We have standard processes and common training programs

• Service delivery and projects use the standard processes (or explicitly tailored versions)

• Measures are used to monitor service delivery and projects

• Process compliance is ensured

• Large scale, obvious process improvements are carried out

• The processes are now reasonably stable, and there are

measures available to refine and improve these processes

in a controlled manner




Organizational ProcessPerformance

(OPP)

OBTAIN A STATISTICAL/ QUANTITATIVEUNDERSTANDING OF THE ORGANIZATIONALPROCESSES

What can one expect from each of theorganizational processes?(Process Performance Baselines)

• What is the expected performance• What is the variability in the performance?

What happens when these processes combine?(Process Performance Models)

• What are the results that can be expectedwhen the processes are combined?

• Can I predict the performance of a service/ engagement based statistical models

We are now ready for doingstatistical and quantitative management of processes





(OPP)

And we also applystatistical and quantitative

management to service delivery

and projects

Quantitative Project or WorkManagement

(QPM or QWM)

STATISTICALLY / QUANTITATIVELYMANAGE THE PROJECT/ WORK

Set out quantitative objectives

Assemble the components of projects or workthat provide confidence in achieving the objectives, using the

• Process Performance Baselines &• Process Performance Models

Identify and select critical processes/ sub-processes for intense control

Control the processes/ sub-processes usingstatistical/ quantitative techniques

Continuously control, predict and re-assemble tomaximize probability of success

Identify areas/ processes that can impact business goals

Collect, analyze and select incremental and breakthrough proposals

Plan and pilot improvements

Perform organization-wide deployment In a planned manner

CMMI® - DEV/ SVC Impacts

� You may not be able to include “projects” that do not implement

RD, PI or VAL in DEV appraisals in future

� 60-70% of your “projects” may fit better with the SVC model

� May end up with more SVC appraisals than DEV appraisals

Related Issues

� Version 1.3 will be formally released in November 2010 for all three

models (DEV, SVC and ACQ). Appraisals on v1.3 of the models can

start thereafter

� You can continue with appraisals on v1.2 for one year after the

release of v1.3 (i.e, up to October 2011)

� A new version of the appraisal method (SCAMPI v 1.3) will also be

released soon � For some time you can either use SCAMPI v1.2 or SCAMPI v1.3 for

appraisals

� SCAMPI v1.3 expected changes� Removal of the concept of “focus” and “non-focus” projects

� Stricter sampling guidelines for selection of projects for appraisals

� Elimination of distinction between “direct” and “indirect” artifacts
