A stated goal of SCAMPI v1.1 was to support two non-process improvement uses often associated with Software Capability Evaluations:
Acquisition/supplier selection
Process monitoring (often contract monitoring)
Note | SCEs may be, and have also been, used for internal process improvement. SCAMPI v1.1 does not make the use of only external team members a requirement for these non-process improvement types of evaluations. However, it would be reasonable to expect that this external-only requirement will continue to be imposed by both federal, individual corporate, and other acquisition policies to avoid conflicts of interest. |
