Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our CMMI assessment services and software process improvement consulting.
A SCAMPI (Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement) assessment is the official appraisal method used to evaluate an organization's processes against the CMMI model. SCAMPI assessments come in three classes: Class A provides official maturity level ratings for certification, Class B offers detailed findings for process improvement, and Class C provides quick diagnostic results. SCAMPI assessments are conducted by certified lead appraisers and are essential for organizations pursuing CMMI certification or seeking to benchmark their process maturity.
The duration of a CMMI assessment depends on the type and scope. A SCAMPI Class A assessment typically takes 5-10 days of on-site appraisal activities, plus 2-4 weeks of preparation and post-assessment reporting. SCAMPI Class B assessments usually take 3-5 days, while Class C assessments can be completed in 1-3 days. The overall timeline from engagement to final report is typically 4-8 weeks for a full SCAMPI A assessment.
CMMI Level 2 (Managed) focuses on project-level process management, where projects are planned, monitored, and controlled using defined processes. CMMI Level 3 (Defined) requires organization-wide standard processes that are tailored to individual projects. Level 3 organizations have proactive process management, process asset libraries, and organizational training programs. Most organizations pursuing CMMI target Level 3 as it demonstrates mature, repeatable processes across the enterprise.
CMMI certification may be required if you work with government agencies (especially defense contracts), large enterprises, or clients who mandate specific maturity levels. Beyond compliance, CMMI certification demonstrates commitment to process excellence, improves project predictability, reduces defects, and can provide competitive advantage. Many organizations pursue CMMI for the operational benefits rather than just certification, experiencing 35-60% defect reduction and improved delivery performance.
CMMI assessment costs vary based on assessment type, organization size, scope, and current maturity. A SCAMPI Class A assessment for CMMI Level 3 certification typically ranges from $50,000 to $150,000, including preparation, appraisal activities, and reporting. SCAMPI Class B assessments range from $25,000 to $75,000, while Class C assessments start around $15,000.
