At our company, process development and process implementation is taking a new direction. We have completed and revised a robust set of corporate core processes, based on the Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) that address our primary business areas of systems engineering and system development. However, as our business evolves, we are finding new areas of related activities that are not effectively represented by our current corporate process descriptions. In this paper we present an approach for using SE methods to prepare processes for repeated reuse, in specialized areas. Our preliminary results have already been used to support marketing and business development, showing other current customers our capability and the potential to assist them in a new way. The preliminary results have also been used effectively by staff and project managers to improve management processes on existing programs.
