Preppin' for a SCAMPI

Dedicated to all who are migrating to CMMI

(Spoken)
You ever seem to have one of those days when everybody's getting on your
case, from your Software Project Manager (SPM), right on down to your best
Configuration Management Analyst (CMA)? Yeah, I have days like that just
about all the time, too. And you know what?  It's gonna get worse! Let me
tell ya' about it!


Sittin' in a conference room, thinking it's a drag
A 2-hour metrics pitch just ain't my bag
My pager goes beep; you know that's my cue
I'm gonna meet the boys for some process-free brew

Cuz we're preppin' for a SCAMPI
Yeah, we're preppin' for a SCAMPI
Hey, now, Flight Ops, don't you give us some pie in the sky
'Cuz everybody knows we gotta pass the CMMI

Checkin' out the forms, makin' sure the docs are clear
Can't wait for the roll-out, man, October's getting' near!
We ain't got no budget, they think our labor's free
Don't how that figures into traceability

But we're preppin' for a SCAMPI 
Yeah, we gotta pass the SCAMPI 
Hey, Appraiser, don't you give us a mere level two
'Cuz everybody knows that three's the only level that's cool

Solo…

Whoa, Generics or Specifics, it's all the same to us
But we gotta Practice every one, or Henry makes a fuss
We tailor it this way, we'll tailor it that,
Who cares if no one reads it, 'cuz man, our docs are fat!

And we're preppin' for a SCAMPI
Yeah, we gotta pass the SCAMPI
Yeah, we'll do all that we can, just enough to get by
We wanta keep our jobs, so we gotta get that CMMI

Well, we're preppin' for a SCAMPI (Oh, yeah)
Said we're preppin' for a SCAMPI (I tell you)
That we gotta pass the SCAMPI (Or Chuck will kill us!)
Yeah, we gotta pass the SCAMPI

Our schedule may be PIIDlin', but our sprits are high
There ain't no doubt about it, we're gonna pass the CMMI!
