SUITE SEM Implementation Process Training

1. SUITE SEM ImplementationProcess Training

2. Today’s Topics • SUITE Phase 1: Where We’ve Been • SUITE Phase 2: Where we are Now • Roll out of the process • Provide overall understanding of the SEM (Systems Engineering Methodology) • Detailed training as Applications are selected • SUITE Phase 3: Where We’re Going

3. Communication & Training • TechTalk and Staff meetings • Awareness Presentations • Process Training • Detailed Template Training • Provided when needed • Assures standardized approach • Templates are easy to complete/modify!

4. Useful Acronyms • SUITE = State Unified Information Technology Environment • SEM = Systems Engineering Methodology • CMMI = Capability Maturity Model Integrated • CMMI Level 3 = Maturity Level that is characterized by defined processes • SEI = Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University • PMM= Project Management Methodology

5. Long Range Vision:CMMI Level 3

6. CMMI Benefits CMMI Provides: Guidance for efficient, effective improvement across multiple process disciplines in an organization • A common language and a shared vision • Collection of best practices • A way to define what improvement means for an organization • Roadmap for process improvement www.sei.cmu.edu/cmmi

7. CMMI Performance MeasuresBased on SEI Research with 35 different organizations* *Private Sector Experience

8. Purpose of SUITE Provide an integrated CMMI Level 3 compliant systems development framework that encompasses: • Process Management • Project Management – Already rolled out • Systems Engineering • Support Processes

9. Integration with Project Management Processes • What is a PMO • Single area • Matrixed • Developing • Coordination with Release Planning process • Release Schedules reflect SEM stages • Ability to validate SEM usage • Gather Process SEM metrics

10. Useful SEM Terms • SEM – Systems Engineering Methodology • Stages and Stage Exits • Templates and Checklists • Process Guides • Touch Points • SEM Express • Inputs/Outputs – Items used and products developed

11. Everyone needs to know the answer to four questions 1. What is SEM all about? • A standardized approach to development to assure we design, deliver and maintain applications that meet clients expectations • Michigan/1 for Application Development

12. Everyone needs to know the answer to four questions 2. Why is MDIT doing it? • Develop more reliable, cost-effective, computer-based solutions while making efficient use of resources. • Improve coordination between functional areas across MDIT

13. Everyone needs to know the answer to four questions 3. When will it happen • Wave one implementation begins in March

14. 4. How will it affect me, my job, & my career? • Clients & managers will have better ways to manage and track projects. • Employees will have more standard ways to do their work. • More up-front effort results in higher quality delivered to production. • Increased interaction and coordination between DIT and agency staff will deliver solutions that meet client expectations. • Improved coordination will speed project implementation.

26. SEM Implementation Began March 2007

27. Wave Strategy for Implementation • First Wave identifies at least one application or project per CSD • Waves 2 (using SEM Express) and 3 (using SEM Systems Maintenance Guide) add more applications until all areas are using the SEM • IO/Core Team –Local SEM Champion(s) to support the strategy

28. How do I learn more? • TechTalk and Staff meetings • Awareness Presentations • Process Training • Detailed Template Training • As you implement where do you go for questions • Your Manager • Local IO Core team and SEM Champion(s) • Michigan.gov/SUITE

29. How Can You Help • Embrace the Systems Engineering Methodology • Help identify areas to improve • Use this process to improve the quality of your work • Champion this process with the clients and others • Provide support to other staff and client as needed
