 Problem: - lack of experience in the CM department
 Solution: - Formal training of all personnel in the CM
department.
 Problem: - No measurements of the configuration process are
taken.
 Solution: - Measurements must be taken because it is a
necessary part of CMM. If Xavor does not start taking
measurements of its CM process, it will most probably fail to attain
CMM certifications.
 Problem: - A record of Peer Reviews is not kept. The
information is reviewed and discarded.
 Solution: - The organization should log peer reviews along with
the project and team member details to effectively measure the
team’s performance.

development phases.
