Deploy the organization’s set of standard processes to work groups at their startup and deploy changes to them as appropriate throughout the work.

It is important that new work groups use proven and effective processes to perform critical early activities (e.g., work planning, receiving requirements, obtaining resources).

Work groups should also periodically update their defined processes to incorporate the latest changes made to the organization’s set of standard processes when it will benefit them. This periodic update helps to ensure that all work activities derive the full benefit of what other work groups have learned.

Refer to the Organizational Process Definition process area for more information about establishing standard processes and establishing tailoring criteria and guidelines.

Example Work Products

1.    The organization’s list of work and the status of process deployment on each (i.e., existing and planned work activities)

2.    Guidelines for deploying the organization’s set of standard processes on new work

3.    Records of tailoring and implementing the organization’s set of standard processes

Subpractices

1.    Identify work groups in the organization that are starting up.

2.    Identify active work groups that would benefit from implementing the organization’s current set of standard processes.

3.    Establish plans to implement the organization’s current set of standard processes on the identified work.

4.    Assist work groups in tailoring the organization’s set of standard processes to meet their needs.

Refer to the Integrated Work Management process area for more information about establishing the defined process for the work.

5.    Maintain records of tailoring and implementing processes on the identified work.

6.    Ensure that the defined processes resulting from process tailoring are incorporated into plans for process compliance audits.

Process compliance audits are objective evaluations of work activities against the defined process for the work.

7.    As the organization’s set of standard processes is updated, identify which work groups should implement the changes.
