Description
Summary:	Next, we will examine a performance based method to improve one's procurement practice. In "Procurement Process Maturity," author Rene Rendon "introduces the Contract Management Maturity Model (CMMM) as a method for assessing, measuring, and improving an organization's procurement processes." (Page 200, JOPP, Volume 8, Issue 2.) The CMM Model proposes levels of performance, from "Ad Hoc" to "Optimized" across six key contracting management areas from "Procurement Planning" through "Contract Closeout." The author selected these areas from the Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge. EDITOR'S NOTE: The success of an interactive discussion on improving contract performance at this year's Forum depends on attendees "doing their homework" and coming to the session prepared. This article and the presentation materials posted by the discussion leader at nigp.org/forum will guide attendees to prepare to discuss the issue with other industry leaders. Once you've done the homework, please be sure to attend the forum session "Contract Performance Improvement: From the Inside Out or the Outside In?"
