ProFoundSET (i-3 SW) provides a starting point for process documentation. It contains a complete set of policies, procedures, templates, forms, checklists and guidelines for a typical software development and maintenance organization. These policies, procedures, templates, forms, checklists and guidelines are aligned to maturity level 3 process areas of CMMI® for Development (version 1.2) Staged Representation, as relevant to a software development organization. They assume an organization that does not require the Integrated Process and Product Development (IPPD) additions of the CMMI®-DEV model. It also contains guidance for tailoring this process documentation to your specific organization.
By using ProFoundSET (i-3 SW) as a starting point for your processes, you could save considerable effort and calendar time in the documentation activity of your maturity level 3 processes. You would also be able to save time of external consultants. Our estimate is that around 30 to 40% effort of your internal team and consultant if you use ProFoundSET (i-3 SW) for process documentation.
For example, if you were to spend 500 person days to develop maturity level 3 compatible documentation without ProFoundSET (i-3 SW), you will probably spend around 300 to 350 person days if you used ProFoundSET (i-3 SW) as your starting point. A clear saving of 150 to 200 person days!
However, you must be careful not to put ProFoundSET directly in use without confirming that the ProFoundSET documents are compatible to the way your organization works, and tailoring ProFoundSET wherever necessary!
Who can use ProFoundSET?
ProFoundSET can be used by any software development organization that is targeting SEIs CMMI® for Development, Version 1.2, Staged Representation, Maturity Level 3 and does not require the Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) additions of the model.
