Passing on a reply from Aaron Bjork on the process team: From: Aaron Bjork [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 6:55 AM To: William Bartholomew Subject: RE: TFS 2010 CMMI Level 3 or 4
Sure thing William. The 2010 product includes first class traceability through link types which is a big step forward in CMMI efforts. The CMMI template itself was changed to support link types, and a few new reports were introduced... but the basics of the template remain the same in 2010. Now, having said that, the template itself won't get you any further along towards level 4, but the links and reports will definitely help with the traceability and auditability requirements.

If additional information is made available, I would very much appreciate if it was forwarded on.

If I recall correctly, the MSF for CMMI v5.0 template still helps companies achieve CMMI Level 3. From what I can tell by looking at the changes between v4.2 and v5.0, it looks like most of the changes were really put in place to take advantage of the new link types and to support test case management. I will see if I can find out more information from the product group to see if there any additional changes. Here is a look at the CMMI work item types and how they would be linked together: <snipped> I was able to talk to Aaron on the product team who deals with the process templates and here is his response: Nope, you've got it right. Most of the changes centered around link types and TCM. Beyond that, we did some usability improvements to the layout of the forms, and introduced a few new reports. :) Hopefully the original message will come through with the supporting imagine. I'm not sure who moderates this list.

I work for a company that requires a level 3, possibly moving to level 4 CMMI standards. I am lobbying on implementing TFS 2010 versus 2008, but I need to determine if 2010 made any changes with the template. Any information about this would be VERY MUCH appreciated.
