MSF ALONE FOR CMMI

MSF for CMMI Process Improvement enables Level 3.

The best tool to implement MSF for CMMI Process Improvement is Visual Studio 2005 Team System.

For more guidance on MSF and Visual Studio Team System have a look at

Hi As you mentioned that MSF for CMMI enbales orginization for Level 3 ,but what about if some one is going for Level-2. 1- The MSF for CMMI bypasses Level-2 Req or 2- The MSF for CMMI includes guidence for Level 2.

When your organization achieves Maturity Level (ML) 3, you are considered to have achieved ML2 as well.

If you are only targeting on achieving ML2, you can focus on the key process areas for that level. They are:

Requirements Management
Project Planning
Project Monitoring and Control
Supplier Agreement Management
Measurement and Analysis
Process and Product Quality Assurance
Configuration Management

From what I understand, MSF is only a guidance to help smoothen the implementation of your processes. You still have to DEFINE and INSTITUTIONALIZE your processes and then go for the SCAMPI assessment before you can get CMMI ML3.
