TeraQuestBPMM Overview ConclusionsConclusions
BPMM provides a framework to improve end-to-end business processes
• Improvements done when the organization is ready for them• Approach based on proven maturity model concepts (developed
by original authors of SW-CMM, CMMI and People CMM)• Leverages industry experience with maturity model-based
improvement• Targets improvements for manageable units to start• Enables effective six sigma use at all levels of maturity
