Business Case
Using Quick Start Methods’ innovative and easy-to-use Quick Start Templates can provide significant cost and time savings when embarking down the
path to CMMI® process implementation.
Here is the typical scenario. Your organization has been pursuing a development contract with the US government. Your sales staff has contacted the
government point-of-contact and they are tracking the arrival of the Request for Proposals (RFP). Finally it happens, the government issues the RFP
and to your surprise, it states that all organizations that plan to submit a proposal must be at least at a CMMI® appraised level 2 or in the process of
obtaining the level 2 appraisal.

You have heard of CMMI® but you have been avoiding it. But now you have no choice. In order to be able to compete for this US government
contract, your organization must start down the CMMI® path.
Pursuing down the CMMI® path means that your organization will need to:
1. define and develop the process documentation,
2. train your staff on the processes,
3. implement the processes, and
4. prepare and conduct the appraisal.

Probably the most expensive and time consuming part of establishing a CMMI® capability deals with the definition, development, and peer review
cycle associated with the process documentation.
In the past, organizations have only had 2 options for defining and developing the process documentation. The first option involved contracting with a
process management consultant. The second option used in-house staff to define and develop the procedures. But now there is a third option for
CMMI® process definition and development – using the Quick Start Templates.
Quick Start Methods has developed innovative and easy-to-use CMMI® compliant templates with your organization in mind. These templates will
allow your organization to significantly decrease the cost and time to define and develop CMMI® procedures when compared to more traditional
options.
Based on our experience and assumptions, typical organizations can expect to save $117,805 and 14.5 weeks of time when using Quick Start
Templates instead of using the process management consultant. Similarly, typical organizations can expect to save $47,305 and 24 weeks of time
when using the Quick Start Templates instead of in-house labor.
