CMMI specific experience:
• We’ve prepared 4 companies for their CMMI appraisals. (Very difficult assignments!)
• Have served as CMMI Appraisal Team Member for (30) Maturity Level 3 appraisals, 2017 to 2020.
• Previously trained as ATM for CMMI-DEV, CMMI-SVC, and CMMI-ACQ appraisals.
• Now trained and certified as CMMI Associate for CMMI V2.0.
Under the category “lessons learned” …
In 2018, Compliance Power 365 authored a software system for a CMMI Lead Appraiser that was similar in
several ways to CMMI 365. The previous system was licensed for $14,000 per company and sold to more than
a dozen companies. The software system is no longer sold as of early 2020. By comparison, the CMMI 365
system is far superior in functionality yet costs less than half of the previous system. Based on hard won,
hands-on experience we know what works and what doesn’t work to prepare a company for their CMMI
appraisal.

Reselling and Referring
Become a Reseller Partner Become a Referring Partner
• “White label” the CMMI System and sell at your own price.
• Compliance Power 365 fully supports every pre-sale demo and every system installation.
• If desired, you can augment the CMMI 365 system with your own proprietary intellectual
property to provide more ”value add”, specifically provide CMMI reference guidance and
your own documents for the template asset library.
• Create your own pricing schedule. We suggest a 1st year price between $5,000 and
$10,000 depending how and if CMMI 365 is bundled with your other professional &
consulting services.
• The commitment to Compliance Power 365 is:
o A one-time fee of $2,600 for the 1st year to become a reseller partner and $1,600 per
year thereafter.
o $2,500 per sale to Compliance Power 365. For example, if the price to your client is
$7,995, then your net revenue is $5,495 (which is $7,995 less $2,500).
o The reoccurring revenue after the 1st year is yours. For example, you may decide to
charge $1,995 per year for continuing system support & maintenance. Compliance
Power 365 will provide & support system updates as part of our reseller agreement.
• Receive 7.50% commission on the 1st year
licensing revenue for the sale of CMMI 365
to new clients.

that point to the Compliance Power 365
web site.
• For example, if the system is sold by
Compliance Power 365 for $5,280, then you

Microsoft 365 Overview
CMMI 365 is integrated with Microsoft 365
• CMMI 365 is installed on the Microsoft 365 tenant of each company. The system is not
hosted by Compliance Power 365. Each company has their own subscription to Microsoft 365
which allows CMMI 365 to be installed on the company tenant account.
• During system installation, Compliance Power 365 assists the company system administrator
via video conference. We do not have and do not need a user account for the company’s
Microsoft 365 account.
• Installation is straightforward.
o A new SharePoint site is created to serve as the document repository and to hold the various SharePoint lists
that support the CMMI 365 system.
o The CMMI 365 PowerApps module is imported to the Microsoft 365 tenant.
o User privileges and group privileges are configured for SharePoint and PowerApps.
o A new Team is added to Microsoft Teams. CMMI 365 is added to a PowerApps folder in the “General” channel.
A subdirectory in “Files” points to the SharePoint document repository. Another sub-directory points to the
CMMI 365 template asset library where team members can find several hundred example documents useful to
companies as they prepare for their appraisal.

It’s simple to navigate between
Appraisals (although most companies
only work on 1 appraisal at a time).
Each Appraisal has one to many
Projects.
Each Project has one to many CMMI Practice
Areas that are “in scope” per the Appraisal
Plan.
Each Appraisal has zero to 20
Organizational Processes for the
evaluation of GOV & II.
There are 2 “Views”: the Overview
and Detail View. This is the Overview
showing Projects and Project status.
Overview showing Projects
Info from CMMI 365 can be sent
directly to Microsoft Teams and/or
email.

10
Overview showing Summary
The Summary shows the status of
each project by Practice Area and the
rollup status for the entire Appraisal.
Click on any Project to return to the
Overview showing Projects.
Click on Templates to browse several
hundred standard documents that are
automatically included with CMMI
365.
Click on Support to request email
support and/or video conference
support directly from Compliance
Power 365.
The Help screen contains links to
dozens of on-demand training videos
that explain all CMMI 365 features.

11
Gap Analysis Scoring
Click on the week ending Date to
navigate to any week within the
Appraisal preparation period.
For the selected week, enter a summary
title and an optional comment.
Then answer up to 12 Gap Analysis
questions. There are default Gap
Analysis questions for every CMMI
Practice. The default text can be
updated on the fly, if desired.
For each question, Gap Analysis
responses are No, Yes, Partially,
Alternate Approach.
Responses for the 12 Gap Analysis questions are
weighted for a total weighted score of 100. The goal
is to answer Yes to every question and get a score of
100.
Quickly navigate between Gap
Analysis, Team Scoring, OE
Evaluation, & References.

12
Team Scoring
It’s easy to enter a weekly Team Score.
Just make a judgement about the
Practice, enter the Score, a Summary,
and detail Comments.
Appraisal preparation teams sometimes
engage 3rd party consultants to perform
”readiness reviews”. This is where the
Consultant can enter their opinion on
the readiness of each Practice.
The Team Score, Summary, and Comment can be Posted
to Teams and/or sent to team members via email.
Most Appraisal Preparation teams use
a combination of structured Gap
Analysis (for example, perform a Gap
Analysis every 4 weeks), and entering
free-form Team Scores using their best
judgement.

13
Evaluate Objective Evidence
Search for specific documents by
phrase, by Document Review Status, or
filter & view only docs for the selected
Practice
All Documents in the SharePoint
document repository are available for
inspection & review.
In this example, some documents have
already been “tagged” for CM 1.1.
Step 1: Start in the 1st column and drill
down to select a document to review.
Step 2: Click on the document image to review the
document in another web page. All document types
are supported: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, etc.
Step 3: Use the Comments to explain why this
document is relevant for the specific Practice.

14
Assessing Organizational Processes
When evaluating and documenting
GOV and II, it’s necessary to select the
specific Organizational Process that’s
being evaluated. The drop-down for
Org Process is only visible when
evaluating GOV & II Practice Areas.
All other features for Gap Scoring,
Team Scoring, and Objective Evidence
evaluation remain the same. The
scoring and assessment is only relevant
to the selected Organizational Process.

15
Model Guidance, Notes & References
Model guidance is provided for every
CMMI Practice based on the subject
matter expertise of Compliance Power
365. We’ve helped dozens of
companies achieve CMMI
accreditation.

library are shown. CMMI 365 includes
hundreds of standard documents and
templates applicable to CMMI
Practices.

Technical Notes and Startup Notes
Technical Notes
• Client companies must have a Microsoft 365 subscription that includes PowerApps. Most common is the E3
enterprise subscription. (Alternately, G3 subscription in the GCC government cloud.)
• Costly premium connectors are not required. CMMI 365 relies only on Teams, SharePoint and PowerApps.
• PowerApps users are granted "use only" privileges on CMMI 365.
• Installation of the system is fully supported. We work with the company system admin to install the system.
Startup Timeline:
• Pre-Sale demonstrations: We love demos.
• Commit: CMMI 365 is licensed through a simple, one-page Contract. There’s also a standard terms of Service
document which complements the standard Contract.
• System Installation: We'll work with the client company Microsoft 365 system administrator to install and test the
CMMI 365 system.
• Kick-off: Compliance Power 365 will host a one-hour on-line training session.
• Weekly check-in: An account representative will check-in with the client company CMMI team lead no less than once
a week for the first 4 weeks.

21
Let’s Take the Next Step!
Please consider becoming either a Reseller Partner or a Referring Partner for the CMMI 365 system.
Let’s continue the discussion:
• We can schedule a video conference for a product demonstration.
• We can share the agreement for the Reseller Partner program or the Referring Partner program. Depending on
the program you choose, your legal counsel may wish to review the standard agreement.
• If interested in the Reseller Program, we can schedule a video conference to demonstrate how you can
supplement the CMMI 365 with your own materials and intellectual property. The basic CMMI 365 system
becomes much more valuable to your clients when they have direct access to your CMMI guidance and example
documents, policies, and procedures.
• If interested in the Referrer Program, we can talk to your web site administrator and share example HTML web
pages with links to our web site at https://CompliancePower365.com.
