Abstract
Summary
- Both approaches motivate the thinking in "perfect/lean" processes and allow the use of common terminology.
- LEAN allows to see "waste."
- CMMI has built-in mechanisms to avoid "waste."
- CMMi forms an enhanced toolbox to implement LEAN thinking in development/service/acquisition environments.
- CMMi provides a clear roadmap for process orientation both on project and organizational level.
- LEAN is supported by CMMI via the concept of institutionalization and organizational learning.
- Both require commitment and pro-active leadership on all management hierarchies.
Please note that current and future CMMI research, training, and information has been transitioned to the CMMI Institute, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carnegie Mellon University.
