Where in CMMI are documented procedures addressed?
The concept of a documented procedure is handled in CMMI models by the generic goals that state that you perform a process according to a managed or defined process. The generic practices associated with these generic goals include documenting the processes and procedures that you use (e.g., see GP 2.2, subpractice 2). Although the term “according to a documented procedure” is not explicitly used in CMMI models, the phrase “establish and maintain” is used. This phrase represents a meaning that includes not only establishing and maintaining, but also documenting and using. For example, “Establish and maintain an organizational policy for planning and performing the organizational process focus process” means that you must formulate a policy, document it, maintain it, and use it.
