Measured Capability Improvement Framework (MCIF)

IBM® Rational® offers a structured approach to helping software and systems delivery teams drive business innovation through measured and continuous process improvement. The Measured Capability Improvement Framework (MCIF) helps you gain competency in the core development practices that most impact business outcomes.

Optimized for agile teams and methods, MCIF can automate the implementation of any method. Although product-independent, MCIF is supported by IBM Rational Jazz offerings that transform software delivery by helping teams collaborate, automate, and report more effectively.

MCIF encapsulates 25 years of experience helping teams incrementally improve their practice maturity to deliver business results.

To improve software delivery capability, teams must scale agile practices, deliver more for less, correlate business outcomes with investments in processes and tools, and produce higher quality in faster delivery times.

Rational provides industry expertise to empower teams to measure, manage, and incrementally improve their software delivery capability. We can help you:

• Adopt an incremental, measured approach to transformation

• Focus on the core practices that matter most

• Accelerate adoption through ready to use assets

• Articulate capability improvements in terms of business value

• Support any method, particularly optimization for agile practices
