Some ideas from the hosts...
Why should you change and what change do you need?
Focus your initiative on things that everyone agrees need fixing.
Target real specific issues and avoid vague generalities like “better delivery”.
Use the CMMI model to help you plan what to change:
The informative text in the model provides useful guidance
Remember, the model is a tool not an end in itself.
Be realistic about how quickly your organisation will accept change.
Reconcile your needs with capacity to change – you won’t be able to tackle
everything at once.
Consider budget, available expertise and culture.
Aim to get benefits early – quick wins help to build momentum.
Spread the cost across multiple areas/budgets.
Develop a “strapline” for change and include in all communications.
Everyone in your organisation should be able to describe why you are doing
