Self-assessment

CMMI readiness quiz

Eight questions, two minutes. Find out whether you're ready to scope a formal appraisal — or whether prep work comes first. Scoring: each answer is worth 0–2 points; 0–5 means start with readiness help, 6–11 means 2–4 months of prep, 12–16 means likely appraisal-ready.

1. Are your core delivery processes written down — not just in people's heads?

2. Do projects actually follow the documented processes, and is adherence checked?

3. Do you collect basic measurements (effort, defects, schedule variance) and use them in decisions?

4. Is there a named process-improvement function or group with real ownership?

5. When defects or failures happen, do you do causal analysis to prevent recurrence?

6. Are suppliers/subcontractors managed against defined agreements and processes?

7. Has anyone mapped your current state against CMMI practice areas (a gap assessment)?

8. Is executive sponsorship committed — budget approved and leadership time allocated?

Honest framing. This quiz screens for appraisal readiness — it is not an appraisal and predicts nothing official. Only a Lead Appraiser conducting a formal appraisal can rate your organization.
