Process Maturity Found: Level 3: Organized and Repeatable
JoAnn Hackos, PhD
CIDM Director
www.infomanagementcenter.com
We've been following Dr. Q as she works with
information-development managers building more mature
organizations. Checko Software, at level 2, was making
considerable progress toward restructuring. Sonoita
Technologies spent 3 years working out effective processes
and practices. It was quite a struggle at times,
particularly when Don Blue, publications manager, faced a
potential revolt from some of the writers who preferred
working on their own. In a few cases (a very few,
fortunately), the staff members decided to move on.
Since the first of the year, Don has felt his staff has
"made it."

else said, "If it were up to me, I would do <this>"? Soft
Systems Methodology (SSM) is about understanding what took
place in the speaker's mind to formulate the <this>. It is
also about determining if the <this> is, in fact, complete,
comprehensive, desirable, and feasible.

Vesa Purho
Development Manager, Nokia
During this year and last, I wrote many articles about
understanding and using various tools created for marketing
and business development also in documentation. Now because
the economy still isn't picking up, business understanding
becomes more and more valuable for us to survive during
reorganisation, to continue to provide value to the
customer, and to keep our sanity.
