Note . While there are few instances, in a few projects, where the capability might be higher, the above table should should serve as an indicator for current process capability from an enterprise stand point, given the samples drawn for this Gap Analysis. Significance of numbers - 0 means, very weak capability and 10 means, very highly matured capability. The benchmark to pass a SCAMPI Class A Appraisal is atleast 7-8 on the above scale.
