Integrating PMP, CMMI, Six Sigma in Oracle Agile PLM

Project Management
Planning and managing the project is at the core
Using the Project Management Institute's Project Management Professional (PMP) model, along with integrating specific practices from the Software Enterprise Institute's Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) model, I've created a cohesive, one-stop shop for planning and managing programs and projects.
Thank you for viewing some of my work!
Oracle Agile's Project Portfolio Module (PPM) Project Summary page for globally-distrubted technical organization. Allows for project management to see the health of active projects at-a-glance.
Or, drill-down into each project for their respective project summaries. Discover quickly the tasks that creating schedule, cost, or quality risk to the overall project.
I've successfully integrated Project Management Institute's Project Management Professional (PMP) model into the organization's project templates and governance.
Project Summary pages are very useful to the project manager and project stakeholders, providing them a central location to monitor, update, and status the projects on which they work. Real-world problems, solved by real-word solutions using Oracle Agile PLM.
Add custom compliance coding to your project or product data to easily organize the most important data relevant for compliance 3rd party audits. Shown below, is an example of adding a coded multi-list field for CMMI data. I've integrated this coding activity in the change workflow cycle, as part of a Quality Assurance step.
This level of detail then allows an organization to quickly return data in custom queries or reports, useful for passing audits.
Quality/Compliance staff can review data as it goes through change order workflow and assign relevant compliance data coding.
This will allow for custom queries to return sorted and grouped coded compliance data that can be used for both internal and 3rd party audits.
To comply with the CMMI Requirements Management process, I've integrated an electronic Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) within the Oracle Agile PLM system.
As shown below, a requirement object's Relationships contain custom fields that link to related product data from the requirement, and back, creating bi-directional traceability. This ensures that engineers and managers deliver and meet the standards of the requirement itself.
All requirements tracked in your PLM system can link to related technical, project, quality, and configuration data, thus creating a simple, yet effective Requirements Traceability Matrix.
I've also created a method to integrate the PMP and CMMI requirement for tracking project risk. By creating and tracking risk details assigned to each project, and assigning qualitative or quantitative Impact and Probability values, project managers can see what the respective risk ratings and priorities are, and determine risk response and mitigation plans.
I've also used Oracle's Java Groovy language to create automated risk rating calculations and email notifications to inform project stakeholders when risks require attention.
The Risk Management Matrix can help the organization view all project risks at-a-glance, then link to the risk response and mitigation plans, that can be assigned as quality-related tasking for detailed tracking. This ensures enterprise-integrated risk management and managing by exception, which provides value in today's demanding, fast-paced environments.
Thank you for taking the time to view a sample of my work integrating best practices for my client in a globally-distributed technical and program management environment, operating in six sites across four countries.
