Earlier I described how you improve the performance of IT organizations in an agile way. The Agile Journal published a compact version of agile process improvement.

Some companies say that “people are our most important resource”. I’d rather use the term “professionals”, since they are trained, have build up experience and are continuously developing themselves to deliver value for your customers. Question is: Are they empowered to do this in a efficient and effective way? The People-CMM can be used to develop a powerful professional workforce, supporting self-organizing agile teams.
In november 2010 heeft het Software Engineering Institute (SEI) een nieuwe versie uitgebracht van het Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI): V1.3. Dit artikel geeft een overzicht van de wijzigingen, en gaat in op de waarde van deze nieuwe CMMI versie.
Afgelopen maandag was er de 1e open space van Agile Overheid en het Agile Consortium. Interessante en leerzame bijeenkomst! Ik heb op deze gelegenheid van gedachten kunnen wisselen over menselijke factoren bij de invoering van agile, met extra aandacht voor de verschillen tussen het bedrijfsleven en de overheid.
Is het agile gedachtengoed toepasbaar voor de overheid? Agile Overheid, een nieuw kennisplatform ziet zeker mogelijkheden. Op 21 februari organiseert dit netwerk, samen met het Agile Consortium Benelux in Rotterdam een open space met als thema “Betere ICT voor de overheid”.
When I worked at Ericsson I used Scrum to manage Process Improvement projects, where it turned out to be a real enabler for Continuous Improvement.
In october 2010, version 1.3 of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) has been released by the Software Engineering Institute. I’ve published several articles on the benefits of CMMI V1.3. This is (for now) the last article, which sums it all up.
There are 3 CMMI V1.3 models released: CMMI for Acquisition (ACQ), CMMI for Services (SVC), and CMMI for Development (DEV). The CMMI V1.3 makes it easier to combine process areas from different models, thus supporting continuous improvement that delivers quicker business results.
Aan het eind van het jaar en de start van het nieuwe jaar hebben veel mensen hun top 3, top 5 of zelfs top 2000 van dingen. Ik heb iets beter, mijn Nieuwjaars wens: een gezond en gelukkig 2011! Met daarbij een aantal adviezen over hoe het te bereiken.
At the end of the year and the start of the New Year, lot’s of people have their top 3, top 5 or even top 1000 of things. I got something better, my new years wish for you: a healthy and happy 2011! And it even comes with some advice on how to reach it.
Business needs for process improvement projects are changing. Organizations expect faster results from their process improvement investments; they want their improvement to follow changing business needs and be more engrained in the organization.
In a first posting on the CMMI roadmaps for CMMI V1.3, I described how the project roadmap has been improved to deliver an even better result. In this posting I’m covering the product and the product integration roadmap.
