Demystifying and Understanding CMMI High Maturity

Demystifying and Understanding CMMI High Maturity Practices - this is often used as a title for articles and papers written on this subject and also as a title for training conducted in this subject.

The use of the phrase 'demystifying and understanding' clearly shows that CMMI high maturity practices are assumed to be carry mysteries and hence before one can understand them they need to be demystified!

The reality is however far removed from this statement. CMMI high maturity practices are nothing but a collection of principles that are based on common sense and nothing more. And they do not require any demystifying and understanding.

And in no way, the CMMI High Maturity Practices are as complex and mysterious as the equations of Quantum Mechanics and Einstein's Theory of Relativity and Time as the Fourth Dimension. These subjects are mysterious, so as to say, and before one can understand them they really need to be demystified!

CMMI High Maturity Practices are purposed to characterizing the organization's process performance in statistical terms (mean and standard deviation) and using that to manage the projects quantitatively - both in reactive as well as predictive mode.

That's it... there is no need of Demystifying and Understanding CMMI High Maturity Practices. The detailing in the CMMI High Maturity Process Areas is just to explain the above concept.
