CMMI Consulting &Process Improvement
Helping organizations build processes that last.
I'm Patricia Eglin — a CMMI consultant who works alongside your team to implement practices that genuinely improve how you work, and guides you through the appraisal process when you're ready to prove it.
Patricia EglinCMMI ConsultantProcess improvement should mean something.
Too many organizations treat CMMI as a compliance exercise — something to get through. I believe in something different: improvement that's real, measurable, and built to outlast any appraisal cycle.
With deep experience across federal agencies, defense contractors, technology companies, and more, I bring a practical, people-first approach to every engagement. My goal isn't just to get you through an appraisal — it's to leave your team with processes they genuinely own and understand.
Whether you're pursuing your first Level 2 or sustaining Level 3 and beyond, I'll meet you where you are and tailor the path to fit your organization — not a generic roadmap.

How I Work
Collaborative from the first conversation.
I don't believe in parachuting in with a binder of requirements and leaving your team to figure it out. Every engagement starts with an honest conversation about where you are, what's working, and what's genuinely getting in the way.
I'm direct about what I observe and flexible about how we address it. The goal is always a team that understands and owns their own processes — not one that's dependent on outside help to maintain them.
Ready to start the conversation?
Whether you have a specific appraisal date in mind or you're just beginning to explore what CMMI could mean for your organization, I'd love to hear from you. No sales pitch — just an honest conversation about your situation.
