Process industrialization and
skill capitalization
In the scope of its CMMI Level 3 evaluation approach, AIRBUS CIMPA wished
to industrialize all its processes notably project management (portfolio management, risk management, test management and time tracking) and has
started work capitalizing on skills and best practices.
For the past 15 years, CIMPA has been
This project harmonized and standardized the tools used on the different projects in order to optimize services management and offer AIRBUS CIMPA’s
customers better quality services and competitive prices.
recognized for its expertise in the field of
PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)
and has become the main EADS corporation’s supplier of PLM services.
CIMPA has extended its services activities
to high-tech manufacturing industries:
aerospace, automobile, railroad, transport, equipments and today turns over
82 M€ a year.
In terms of architecture, AIRBUS CIMPA were completely reassured with the
JIRA solution, notably the environments it supported, the full web architecture, the openness and the richness of its plugin library.
AIRBUS CIMPA also attached importance to the integration possibilities of
JIRA with existing tools (MS Project, CVS, CMSynergy, Mantis).
With regards to test management, the solutions Quality Center and Testlink
were studied but the flexibility of the Valiantys TMT solution, the low cost of
Atlassian tools and the related business model were significant criterions of
choice.
CIMPA has developed recognized skills on
PLM solutions and offers a set of services
ranging from process management,
technical documentation management,
through to configuration management
or product design assistance.
The challenge
The major issue at stake in this project was the implementation of global metrics through a centralization approach in order to enable capitalization.
AIRBUS CIMPA needed be in position to use a data model integrating change
management, configuration management and project management in order
to build the KPI (Key Project Indicators) which would enable the optimization
of its project management method.

Code review on AIRBUS CIMPA plugins.
The project was organized in three parts: the first part was relative to initial tools deployment, the second part to the building of a set of
dashboards for process management, and last part concerned the implementation of the Valiantys TMT solution for Test Management.
AIRBUS CIMPA relied upon the following plugins and solutions to carry

We were convinced by the integration possibilities of JIRA with
existing tools (MS Project, CVS,
CMSynergy , Mantis).
Conclusion and Outlook
As a direct result of the change management approach, the solution was
well received and accepted by the teams. The move from the MANTIS
solution to JIRA was particularly fluid, and today the JIRA deployment is

fully stabilized.
The collaboration with Valiantys continues, a new Knowledge Management (KM) project using the solution Confluence has started.
The creation of a service catalog in JIRA and the enrichment of the TMT
implementation are also being studied.
