CMMI and Six Sigma
Posted by: meikah | 24 February 2008 | 8:26 pm
I had written about how Six Sigma can be integrated with other methodologies and technologies. But there were not very detailed discussions as to how Six Sigma can be incorporated with each.
InformIT shares a good discussion, taken from CMMI and Six Sigma: Partners in Process Improvement, on how Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) in particular can be integrated with Six Sigma:
Strategy 1: Implement CMMI-based processes (or, more simply put, CMMI process areas) as Six Sigma projects.
Strategy 2: Apply Six Sigma to improve process performance and serve as the tactical engine to achieve high capability and/or high maturity.
Strategy 3: Apply Six Sigma, specifically DFSS, as a tactical contributor to achieve highly capable engineering processes.
Strategy 4: Apply Six Sigma to improve or optimize an organization’s improvement strategy and processes.
Strategy 5: Institutionalize Six Sigma project results, and culture, via the CMMI’s institutionalization practices.
