Work Products that Work (cont.)

Worried about not having "procedures" for your appraisal? Look, the CMM and CMMI are models. They might tell you what is typically found in a good process or procedure, but neither the models nor an appraisal team can tell your organization how to define its own terms and standards. Functionally, a template can achieve the same thing as a procedure, so why not just include templates in your organization’s procedure "class" of process assets?

The conventional manifestations of "processes" and "procedures" can be a barrier to people trying to get work done. Natural SPI teaches your SEPG and others how to turn those traditional barriers into enablers. Help people do their job more effectively and efficiently, and you will have won peoples’ hearts and you will have meaningful process improvement.

Who Benefits and How

Everyone wins! People with process responsibility have an easier job defining processes as work products. The rest of the people in the organization - the customers of process - win because they are given things that actually help them do their work.
