My boss says a "focused" project is one where we focus in on a single Process Area in an appraisal, and a "non-Focused" project is one where we look at everything. I say it's the opposite. But don't gloat to the poor fellow - there are quite a few little "gotchas" in the CMMI.
However, the entire concept of "Focus" vs. So I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about it!

Posted by Jeff Dalton at Friday, March 22, Agile Resiliency: Well, the sun is shining again, and we're doubling our efforts to help you learn about using the CMMI to strengthen the agile values, methods, and techniques in your company, making them resilient and strong. Posted by Jeff Dalton at 9: Take it away, Julie! Before I address Organizational Alignment Assessment and Action Plan, which make up the final component of the Third Phase Operate of integrating OCM deliverables into your process improvement plan , I want to take a step back and remind everyone why this work is important in the first place.

In previous posts, we discussed the OCM deliverables that can be added to each phase of your Process Improvement Plan that will help you affect the change you are striving for.
The Phases that we have outlined for your Process Improvement Plan are: Today, our focus is on the Organizational Alignment Assessment and Action Plan deliverable in the third phase, Operate: Posted by Jeff Dalton at 5: For those just joining us, this conversation has been about applying the discipline known as OCM in a structured but agile manner, using the CMMI as one of your tools , in order to help your organization transition from wherever you are today to wherever you want to be tomorrow.
