The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) process supports various work item types (WITs) to plan and track work, tests, feedback, and code reviews. Different WITs allow you to track various types of work, such as requirements, change requests, tasks, bugs, and more. These artifacts get created when you set up a project using the CMMI process, based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) framework.
Teams can use a set of work item queries to track information, analyze progress, and make decisions.
Note
Note
Teams plan their project by capturing features and requirements. When teams work in sprints, they define tasks and link them to requirements. To gain insight into a rollup of requirements across teams, program managers link requirements to a feature. Blocking issues are tracked using issues. For details on using these WITs, see CMMI process work item types and workflow
The following image shows the essential flow for getting started. For more information, see Get started with Agile tools to plan and track work.
Select one of the following images to go to the linked article.
Note
A work item is a database record that contains the definition, assignment, priority, and state of work. Work item types define the template of fields, workflow, and form for each type. Work items can be linked to each other to support tracking dependencies, roll up of work, and reports.
You can use work item queries to list work items based on their type, such as change requests, bugs, tasks, and requirements.
Note
When you create a new project, there's no longer a default set of Shared Queries. The definitions for Shared Queries were removed from the process template. For on-premises deployments, you can add them to a custom process template as described in Add work item queries to a process template.
View and run queries from the web portal or from the Team Explorer plug-in for Visual Studio. Modify a query using the query editor to apply different filter criteria and add queries to team dashboards.
Enhance your workflow using the following tips:
All processes—Agile, Scrum, and CMMI—support building status and trend charts and dashboards. Also, several charts are automatically built based on the Agile tools you use. These charts display within the web portal.
You can define a shared flat query and create a chart based on your tracking interests. Chart types include status—pie, bar, column, stacked bar, and pivot—and trend—stacked area, line, and area—charts.
The Analytics Service can answer quantitative questions about the past or present state of your projects. You can add Analytics widgets to a dashboard or use Power BI to create charts and reports.
For more information, see What is the Analytics Service?
If your project collection and the project are configured with SQL Server Analysis Services and Reporting Services, you have access to many CMMI reports. For these reports to be useful, teams must do certain activities, such as define build processes, link work items, and update status or remaining work.
If you need to add reporting services or update reports to the latest versions, see Add reports to a project.
As updates are made to the CMMI process template, the version number is updated. The following table provides a mapping of the versioning applied as updates are made to the Azure DevOps on-premises process templates. For Azure Boards, the latest version is always used. Each template provides a version
element. This element specifies a major and minor version.
Version | CMMI name | Major version |
---|---|---|
Azure DevOps Services Azure DevOps Server 2022 |
CMMI | 18 |
Azure DevOps Server 2020 Azure DevOps Server 2019 |
CMMI | 17 |
For a summary of updates made to process templates, see Release Notes for Azure DevOps Server.
Development teams have diverse practices and established processes. This guidance focuses on activities relevant to effectively using the CMMI process.
Use the CMMI template and guidance as part of a process improvement program. Adapt this guidance based on:
