Towards the Re-engineering of Readiness Review Process with R2P2 Lifecycle Model

As a lesson learned, the readiness review process of SCAMPI appraisal is very complicated and effort and cost consuming for novice organizations who need to know their status of CMMI practices classification. In SCAMPI appraisal, the readiness review process is a single process that runs from start to the end. During the readiness review process, nobody collected database to improve the process’s performance. Our research towards the re-engineering of readiness review process aims to enhance the process performance and reduce effort/cost of the readiness review process implementation. We design our R2P2 Lifecycle Model to provide the benchmark of readiness review process relative to Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) practices implementation. The R2P2 Lifecycle Model describes the requirements, activities, and practices associated with the readiness review process that composes the model. The total of 49 appraisals data are used to establish, evaluate, and enhance the performance and efficiency of the R2P2 Lifecycle Model. This paper presents our conceptual view of the R2P2 Lifecycle Model and a lesson learned from the preliminary development of the model. We are at the first stage of the R2P2 Lifecycle Model development by using 30 historical appraisals cases for root causes analyzing of the weakness of readiness review process. Therefore, we will use this lesson learned to enhance the R2P2 Lifecycle Model in next stage.
