The Capability Assessment Tool (CAT) is the combined effort of our CMMI specialists and software development teams to provide a user-friendly appraisal support tool for organizations preparing for a staged SCAMPI A, B, or C appraisal. Multiple CAT reports make it easy to identify practices with missing process implementation indicator documents (PIIDs) and monitor your progress for appraisal readiness. Your appraisal team will be able to quickly and easily evaluate hundreds of PIIDs, effectively reducing CMMI Appraisal time. The CAT application can be reused over and over for multiple appraisals with each database serving as a historical reference archive.

Additional features of the CAT Software are:

• Password protected database preventing unauthorized access
• Appraisers can access process area, practice, and PIIDs from a single screen
• Provides a graphic progress report measuring appraisal readiness
• Storage function for adding new artifacts (evidence)
• Enables easy update of individual documents, preserving multiple links to practices
• Documents are stored only once and can be linked to any number of practices
• Document management allows for indexing, editing, replacement, and deletion
• Verification function checks the validity of all PIID-document links in the database
