What is one way to sustain CMMI practices over time?

Ongoing training and reinforcement of CMMI methodologies is a crucial element for sustaining CMMI practices over time. This continuous process ensures that team members are not only familiar with the CMMI framework but also understand how to effectively apply it in their day-to-day activities. By providing regular training, organizations can keep their workforce updated on best practices, new methodologies, and any changes in the CMMI framework itself.

Moreover, reinforcement of these methodologies helps to embed CMMI practices into the organizational culture. This means that as employees encounter challenges and new projects, they are equipped with the knowledge and tools to utilize CMMI principles effectively, leading to improved performance and better outcomes over time.

In contrast, approaches like occasional reviews or only assessing compliance at project completion do not provide the necessary frequency and consistency required for true integration and sustainability of CMMI practices. Annual audits, while useful for ensuring compliance, may not actively engage employees in the ongoing application and understanding of CMMI methodologies.
