| Hello. I'm newbie in CMMI and I'm in charge of process defining for OPP
& QPM, but those are very confusing each other. I wonder whether OPP &
QPM process documents should be different or these can be togheter in
one process document.
Could anybody help me to make a process document?
Is it possible that I get some example documents for OPP & QPM in your
OU? It will be really helpful for me.

They probably wouldn't help. You need to work with your colleagues to
define the practices for each area. Start by defining what your
organization currently does in the process areas and develop them from
there. If there are arguments about this approach walk away - you'll be
wasting your time.
Go back to the CMMI text - it should help clarify what you're trying to
do...
- PAs are not processes they are 'clusters of related practices' - so
don't constrain yourself by attempting to define *a* process for each
PA.
- QPM is concerned with setting up and running the project,
quantitiatively - by selecting and using existing, suitable processes -
this is the sort of thing project planners and managers do.
- OPP is concerned with maintaining and refining the processes used by
project managers, analysing their performance and making them available
to users - this will probably be done by an SEPG or process or
measurement groups, in support of project managers.

| I agree with the post. Thanks
I just would like to know how we do analyze and which stakeholder
should attend and which procedure we should follow to achieve OPP.
Could you give me any advice?

Take a look at the SEI's SEPG guide (CMU/SEI -90-TR-24, Fowler and
Rifkin). It's old now but one of the SEI's better reports. It may give
you some ideas.
Your OPP stakeholders are those people who care, or should care, about
the performace of your org's processes, users and beneficiaries
usually. If there are a lot then split them into two groups - the
'hands on' group - SEPG types probably - and the 'eyes on' group that
are kept informed of OPP work.
If you have or use RACI matrices these may help you organize the OPP
work and reporting.
I'd also advise you to keep the measurement data closely associated
with (even part of?) the process definitions - don't hand it to a
metrics group or metrics specialists. The data can become too abstract,
over analysed or even an orphan, separated from its parent process.
