Research And Application Of Light Maturity Model Appraisal System

Capability Maturity Model not only gains a huge success in software field, and makes a greater contribution to the healthy development of software industry, but also imitated maturity model of other areas achieve remarkable results.In these outstanding achievements, Capability Maturity Model Appraisal System plays an important role. We call the maturity model released by big corporate or research institutions as Heavy Maturity Model, such as the Capability Maturity Model Issued by Software Engineering Institute in Carnegie Mellon University United States, Organizational Project Management Maturity Model launched by Project Management Institute, etc. Call other maturity model by proposed general organization or individual as Light Maturity Model, such as Knowledge Management Maturity Model, Maturity Model for Informatization, etc. The biggest differences between Heavy Maturity Model and Light Maturity Model are research time, the quantity of participater, partners of R&D cooperation, applicable scope of maturity model, appraisal persons, appraisal methods, etc. These respects of Light Maturity Model are more inferior than Heavy Maturity Model. Heavy Maturity Model Appraisal System plays an important role in certification process and self-evaluation, meanwhile provides valuable reference for the development of Light Maturity Model Appraisal System. Since 2005 in Domestic, Light Maturity Model gradually arisen, short of those Light Maturity Model Appraisal Support System had greatly limited their role and impact, but this situation was not clearly known and attention, appraisal system adapted to general Light Maturity Model has highly academic value and practical significance.Studies suggest that development with general characteristics of Light Maturity Model Appraisal System can choose a unified Light Maturity Model Theory Frame, the framework can be used to customize different areas of Light Maturity Model, based on the design of this framework and implementation of appraisal system having generality. How to construct such theoretical framework? Based on the reference Capability Maturity Model and extract the common structure existing Light Maturity Model, design the Light Maturity Model Structure. Learn from CMM based Assessment Internal Process Improvement(CBA IPI), summarized the common characteristic in various appraisal method of current Light Maturity Model, based on the Multi-layer Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation and Order Relation Weights-making Method, design the method to indicator system weights-making of Light Maturity Model, build the Light Maturity Model Appraisal Method Framework, and Light Maturity Model Appraisal Process. Apply heoretical framework to analysis, design and develop an appraisal system of Light Maturity Model which have widely applicability. For this Light Maturity Model Appraisal System, its function is practical, flow reasonably and interface simple friendly, have a good market value and academic value. The novel concept of Light Maturity Model, selected and designed Order Relation Weights-making Method, Theory Framework of Light Maturity Model Theory Framework are mainly innovative ideas.
