Here are some more additional key concepts and terms.


Establish approval matrix for key decisions related to process management including process definition, implementation, compliance and improvement

• Such an approval matrix will clearly provide the way for performing process management in the organization with high degree of effectiveness
• It is recommended to revisit and review the approvals peridocially and optimize and fine-tune them for efective and speedier decision-making

Establish approval matrix for key decisions related to project delivery including project management, execution and resource management (people, software and hardware)

• Such an approval matrix will clearly provide the way for performing project delivery to the customers with high degree of effectiveness
• It is recommended to revisit and review the approvals peridocially and optimize and fine-tune them for efective and speedier decision-making

Establish approval matrix for key decisions related to company/site operations including departmental processes like of HR, Admin, IT, Legal, Sales, etc.

• Such an approval matrix will clearly provide the way for managing the operations with high degree of effectiveness (incidentally, if a company is PCMM level 3 or hugher they will already have this in place
• It is recommended to revisit and review the approvals peridocially and optimize and fine-tune them for efective and speedier decision-making

The above provides some additional key concepts and terms in V2.0 as compared to V1.3 that are important from an implementer's point of view.

For any implementer with working knowledge of CMMI V1.3, it would be quite useful to correctly understand and incorporate these and other such key concepts and terms.
