If you are faced with
a challenge of making logical connections between different
frameworks, then the technique of mapping is what needs to be
reviewed.
For instance, CMM to
ITIL Mapping is an issue that a lot of professionals are looking to
conquer. The fundamental issue for the mapping exercise is to not
get buried in the detail of the framework, but to look at the
fundamentals of each framework.
CMM of course is a
framework established to guide software developers through the
challenges of creating solutions that are truly aligned with
business requirements.
ITIL is a framework
that has been developed to guide IT Managers through the challenges
of managing their IT infrastructure.
The two frameworks are
complementary and those faced with implementing ITIL and CMM need
not be concerned about any potential clash or duplication of effort
between the two.
The CMM measurement
model is actually a 5 category measurement model. Most people think
that ITIL is also a 5 level model, but there are actually steps
between the 5 levels in ITIL (making 9 measurement levels). This can
introduce some complexity into the mapping
exercise.
