CMMI Appraisals Made Simple
How to succeed with a CMMI Appraisal
At Broadsword, we make the CMMI appraisal process easier, more practical, and far less intimidating. As a licensed CMMI Institute / ISACA Partner, we are authorized to conduct all classes of CMMI appraisals—and we bring real-world experience to every engagement.
We’ve Been in Your Shoes
Our consultants aren’t just assessors—they’re former engineers, developers, and project managers who’ve been through this process themselves. We know what it’s like to adopt new processes, face audits, and navigate change while still delivering results.
Practical, Not Academic
Sure, we have advanced degrees and training from top universities—but that’s not what defines our approach. At Broadsword, we focus on what works. We’ve seen engineering and software delivery in all shapes and sizes, so we meet you where you are. Rather than forcing you into a rigid framework, we adapt CMMI to fit your unique organization.
Supporting Agile Organizations
If you’re an Agile or Scrum-based organization, we can help you understand how well your methods are actually working. Our evidence-based Agile appraisals remove the guesswork, offering clear, actionable insights into your performance.
Our CMMI Appraisal Services
We offer a full range of appraisal services to help you assess, improve, and sustain high performance:
✅ CMMI Benchmark Appraisal
The gold standard of CMMI assessments—can result in a Maturity Level rating.
✅ CMMI Sustainment Appraisal
Extend your current Maturity Level rating for another two years.
✅ CMMI After-Action Reappraisal
Focuses only on missed practices following a Benchmark Appraisal.
✅ CMMI Evaluation Appraisal
A flexible option—from simple gap analyses to full trial-run appraisals.
✅ CMMI Mini-Appraisal
A lightweight option for early feedback and risk reduction.
✅ Process Diagnostics
Pinpoint performance gaps and opportunities for targeted improvements.
✅ Agile & Scrum Appraisals
Evaluate how well your Agile practices are implemented and delivering value.
Backward-Compatible Appraisals
To support organizations working with older CMMI versions, we offer:
-
Evaluation-C Appraisals – Targeted gap analysis
-
Evaluation-B Appraisals – Full pre-benchmark practice runs
Many of our clients use a series of Evaluation Appraisals before their Benchmark to reduce risk and build confidence.
