Impact of PIIDs
T
Good PIIDs
T
T
T
T
PIIDs are finished before the initial document review and readiness
review start.
PIIDs contain the appropriate documents for showing practice
implementation and the appraisal team can rely on it.
Requests by the appraisal team concerning the PIIDs are closed by
the PIID creator at agreed milestones.
Bad PIIDs
T
T
T
PIIDs are not finished on time.
Projects and the organization are not represented adequately by the
PIIDs and the appraisal team feels uncertain regarding judgement.
The appraisal schedule must be revised, because discussions with
PIID creators take too much time.

Generic PIIDs should document one preferred DA and a set of
typical ones.
T
Generic PIIDs usually do not contain IAs.
