Organizational Process Performance

The purpose of Organizational Process Performance is to establish and maintain a quantitative understanding of the performance of the organization's set of standard processes in support of quality and process-performance objectives, and to provide the process performance data, baselines, and models to quantitatively manage the organization's projects.

Specific Practices by Specific Goal:

SG1	Establish Performance Baselines and Models Baselines and models that characterize the expected process performance of the organization's set of standard processes are established and maintained .
	SP1.1	Select Processes Select the processes or process elements in the organization's set of standard processes that are to be included in the organization's process performance analyses.
	SP1.2	Establish Process Performance Measures Establish and maintain definitions of the measures that are to be included in the organization's process performance analyses.
	SP1.3	Establish Quality and Process-Performance Objectives Establish and maintain quantitative objectives for quality and process performance for the organization.
	SP1.4	Establish Process Performance Baselines Establish and maintain the organization's process performance baselines.
	SP1.5	Establish Process Performance Models Establish and maintain the process performance models for the organization's set of standard processes.

Quantitative Project Management

The purpose of the Quantitative Project Management process area is to quantitatively manage the project's defined process to achieve the project's established quality and process-performance objectives.

Specific Practices by Specific Goal:

SG1	Quantitatively Manage the Project The project is quantitatively managed using quality and process-performance objectives.
	SP1.1	Establish the Project's Objectives Establish and maintain the project's quality and process-performance objectives.
	SP1.2	Compose the Defined Process Select the subprocesses that compose the project's defined process, based on historical stability and capability data.
	SP1.3	Select the Subprocesses that Will Be Statistically Managed Select the subprocesses of the project's defined process that will be statistically managed.
	SP1.4	Manage Project Performance Monitor the project to determine whether the project's objectives for quality and process performance will be satisfied, and identify corrective action as appropriate.
SG2	Statistically Manage Subprocess Performance The performance of selected subprocesses within the project's defined process is statistically managed.
	SP2.1	Select Measures and Analytic Techniques Select the measures and analytic techniques to be used in statistically managing the selected subprocesses.
	SP2.2	Apply Statistical Methods to Understand Variation Establish and maintain an understanding of the variation of the selected subprocesses using the selected measures and analytic techniques.
	SP2.3	Monitor Performance of the Selected Subprocesses Monitor the performance of the selected subprocesses to determine their capability to satisfy their quality and process-performance objectives, and identify corrective action as necessary.
	SP2.4	Record Statistical Management Data Record statistical and quality management data in the organization's measurement repository.
