Selects and deploys proposed incremental and innovative improvements that improve the organization’s ability to meet its quality and process performance objectives. The identification of promising incremental and innovative improvements should involve the participation of an empowered workforce aligned with the business values and objectives of the organization. The selection of improvements to deploy is based on a quantitative understanding of the potential benefits and costs from deploying candidate improvements, and the available funding for such deployment. Derives quantitative objectives for quality and process performance from the organization’s business objectives. The organization provides projects and support groups with common measures, process performance baselines, and process performance models. These additional organizational support assets support quantitative project management and statistical management of critical sub-processes for both projects and support groups. The organization analyzes the process performance data collected from these defined processes to develop a quantitative understanding of product quality, service quality, and process performance of the set of standard processes. The specific practices in the Integrated Teaming process area provide for the formation and sustainment of each integrated team. Part of sustaining the team is developing the integrated team’s shared vision, which must align with the project’s and organization’s shared visions, developed in the Integrated Project Management for IPPD and Organizational Environment for Integration process areas, respectively. The specific practices in the Organizational Environment for Integration and Integrated Teaming process areas then set the environment for enabling integrated teamwork. In addition, the Integrated Teaming process area interacts with other Project Management processes by supplying team commitments, work plans, and other information that forms the basis for managing the project and supporting risk management. Part of sustaining the team is developing the integrated team’s shared vision, which must align with the project’s and organization’s shared visions, developed in the Integrated Project Management for IPPD and Organizational Environment for Integration process areas, respectively. The specific practices in the Organizational Environment for Integration and Integrated Teaming process areas then set the environment for enabling integrated teamwork. Proactively identifies sources of products that may be used to satisfy project requirements and monitors selected supplier work products and processes while maintaining a cooperative project-supplier relationship. The specific practices of the Integrated Supplier Management process area cover selecting potential sources of products, evaluating those sources to select suppliers, monitoring selected supplier processes and work products, and revising the supplier agreement or relationship as appropriate. The Integrated Supplier Management process area works closely with the Supplier Agreement Management process area during the supplier selection process. Integrated Supplier Management also shares monitoring information with the Engineering and Support process areas in the form of technical solution, product integration, and validation data as well as process and product quality assurance and configuration management data. While risk identification and monitoring are covered in the Project Planning and Project Monitoring and Control process areas (basic processes), the Risk Management process area takes a more continuing, forward-looking approach to managing risks with activities that include identification of risk parameters, risk assessments, and risk handling. Applies quantitative and statistical techniques to manage process performance and product quality. Quality and process-performance objectives for the project are based on those established by the organization. The project’s defined process comprises, in part, process elements and sub-processes whose process performance can be predicted. At a minimum, the process variation experienced by sub-processes that is critical to achieving the project’s quality and process-performance objectives is understood. Corrective action is taken when special causes of process variation are identified. This area also creates the shared vision for the project. This shared vision should align both horizontally and vertically with both the organization’s and integrated team’s shared visions, created in the Organizational Environment for Integration and Integrated Teaming process areas, respectively. These shared visions collectively support the coordination and collaboration among stakeholders. Finally, the Integrated Project Management for IPPD process area implements an integrated team structure to perform the work of the project in developing a product. This team structure is typically based on the decomposition of the product itself, much like a work breakdown structure. This activity is accomplished in conjunction with the Integrated Teaming process area. Establishes the approach and environment for the implementation of IPPD. The environment is established by obtaining, adapting, or developing processes that facilitate effective integrated team behavior as well as stakeholder communication and collaboration, creating the organization’s shared vision, and managing people to promote integrative behavior. Specific practices in the Organizational Environment for Integration process area promote both team and individual excellence while enabling and rewarding integration across all business and technical functions in the execution of the projects. Supports all the process areas by providing a formal evaluation process that ensures that alternatives are compared and the best one is selected to accomplish the goals of the process areas. The project strives to understand the common causes of variation inherent in processes and remove them from the project’s processes, as well as using this knowledge to continually improve organizational processes.
