Class B Appraisals

SEI ARC-Class B appraisals allow you to determine process gaps in preparation for a formal SCAMPI Class A appraisal.

ISD recommends the ARC-Class B appraisal for organizations that need in-depth determination of process gaps and weaknesses without the establishment of a formal maturity or capability level rating. An ARC-Class B appraisal is also used to measure improvement progress, providing more in-depth verification-and-discovery methods than ARC-Class C appraisals provide. They are therefore most appropriate for organizations continuing their of CMMI-based process improvement journey.

ISD will conduct your ARC-Class B appraisal using our own Comprehensive Appraisal Method (CAM). Our approach results in a scaled down, lower-impact version of the same basic steps outlined in the full SCAMPI Class A appraisal method:

Plan and Prepare	Identify organizational / model scope and appraisal team, Prepare for data collection, Train the appraisal team
Conduct	Collect, analyze and consolidate data
Report	Document and present results

Guided by an ISD Team Leader, your appraisal team will apply CMMI industry best practices to your organization to produce valuable, actionable items for process improvement.
