The Capability Maturity Model Integration is part of the transition in Raytheon Australia where a process gap was overcome and a new level of process maturity emerged that not only satisfied the primary customer but also satisfied Raytheon’s internal audience which is often harder to please.

Raytheon Australia sought to improve its planning and the execution of projects to optimise its performance for its customer and for its parent company in the US.The task was to combine process improvement with the Capability Maturity Model Integration; tailored project management; and the Raytheon Six Sigma regime. Raytheon Six Sigma provides a common process and language throughout the company and hence a communication vehicle for both executives and the project teams.The objective was to achieve process maturity and to instil lasting change to Raytheon Australia in a dynamic environment.

The Project used CMMI to measure best practice for its process maturity and identify gaps. From these identified gaps a number of smaller projects were established and managed along the process lines of the CMMI model.

The nine knowledge elements of Project Management were utilised to develop and execute the project. Integration was a key feature, as current in-use processes were being utilised whilst those processes were concurrently undergoing change.

The project needed to succeed in an environment of maintaining double-digit growth, competing project delivery and winning new business while achieving an acceptable level of process maturity. In the company’s words “These initially appeared to be mutually exclusive, but on that score we were wrong!”
