Have a friend join a CMM 3 striving for level 4. He fixed one bug in 3 months...


Yikes! I'm wondering if your friend's former employer either had a much more bloated definition of what CMM3 was; or had already implemented a huge amount of lvl4 process cement. In my case, lvl3 only meant spending 2/3rds to 3/4ths of our time doing documentation instead of coding; and I'd split the docs roughly 50/50 between useful and busywork: The detailed test procedures mostly being in the first category.

The reqspec being 50/50 in nailing down what the customer wanted/needed but being in an overly verbose and tedious to maintain format. The design spec however fell into the mostly useless category; about 10-20% would have been worthwhile if treated as a non-maintained write only planning doc, the remainder is nothing more than a crappy duplication of what's much easier to see from within visual studio/the app itself and too down in the weeds to be of benefit to anyone who isn't a dev anyway.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
