SCAMPI E Pilot Conducted Experience Gained Being part of a worldwide pilot meant we faced some early adopter issues. These experiences were captured and shared with CMMI Institute. Copyright 2013 Accenture All rights reserved. 18 17

Lessons Learned... Training should have been planned and conducted a little earlier in the process. Given this was a pilot and some materials were still been developed this was not always possible, but should be in future appraisals. There was a lack of formal appraisal team member (ATM) training materials. In future perhaps slides could be provided to aid the training. This would increase the effectiveness of the training process. Source: SCAMPI CLASS-M PILOT Lessons Learned Copyright 2013 Accenture All rights reserved. 19 18

Lessons Learned The SAS system is not geared for SCAMPI M. The following is not clear: how to get feedback forms how to get the documents submitted with the rating forms Was the weight of GPs review effort adequate? In this case, Selection of Practices in scope (after CI Review) led to: 13PAs =16 SGs = 58 SPs 7 GPs that multiplied by 13PAs SG lead to 7x13=91 instances to be reviewed. As a result, about 3/5 of the effort (docs/interviews) were needed to cover the selected GPs, and 2/5 the SPs. Whether this is adequate to their business relevance is a point to consider from this pilot. Source: SCAMPI CLASS-M PILOT Lessons Learned Copyright 2013 Accenture All rights reserved. 20 19
