TMMI-P-SYLL2-1 practice question 12 of 25

Improvement models can have a staged and/or continuous representation. The TMMi has been developed as a staged model. Which of the following statements regarding a staged improvement model is TRUE?

Answer options

A: An organization can select process areas for improvement based on business objectives.

B: A staged representation uses a predefined set of process areas to define an improvement path for an organization. Correct answer

C: A staged representation has no fixed set of levels to proceed through.

D: Practical experiences have shown that a staged representation is more difficult to use than a continuous representation due to its flexibility.

Correct Answer:

B. A staged representation uses a predefined set of process areas to define an improvement path for an organization.

Explanation

In a staged model like TMMi, an organisation follows a predefined improvement path that includes a set of process areas organised by maturity levels. Each level builds upon the previous one, and the organisation progresses in a step-by-step manner through these maturity levels to improve its processes. The staged model is well-structured and prescriptive, offering a clear improvement roadmap for the organisation.
Reference: The TMMi framework follows a staged architecture where "the staged model uses predefined sets of process areas to define an improvement path".
