Intro
to the CMMI-DEV v1.2
Public Workshop
Offered by PTI on November 3-4-5, 2009 Washington, DC area Holiday Inn Rosslyn, VA Description of course, fees and registration information below: Best prices $750, Best quality! Introduction to Capability Maturity Model®-Integration (CMMI®) for Development Version 1.2 supplemented with PTI’s Dymond ◊ DiagramsTM Who will benefit from this course? • Systems and software engineering managers and practitioners interested in understanding the CMMI® v1.2 • Appraisal teams who will use the CMMI-based appraisal method (SCAMPISM) • Systems and Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG/EPG) members who are coordinating process improvement in their organization • All those who must complete the SEI-Authorized Introduction to CMMI and receive an SEI course completion certificate Course Description This three-day course introduces systems and software engineering managers and practitioners, appraisal team members, and process group (e.g., SEPG, EPG) members to CMMI fundamental concepts. CMMI for Development (CMMI-DEV) models are tools that help organizations improve their ability to develop and maintain quality products and services. CMMI-DEV models are an integration of best practices from proven discipline-specfic process improvement models, including the CMM for Software, EIA 731, and the Integrated Product Development CMM. The course is composed of lectures and class exercises with ample opportunity for participant questions and discussions. After attending the course, participants will be able to describe the components of CMMI-DEV models and their relationships, discuss the process areas in CMMI-DEV models, and locate relevant information in the model. Successful completion of their course requires that participants actively participate in classroom discussions and exercises in all three days, not missing any classroom time. This course fulfills a prerequisite requirement for any course requiring an official SEI Introductory CMMI course. Course Outline Day 1 Process Improvement Concepts and CMMI CMMI Model Components Overview Model Representations and Institutionalization Product Development I Process Areas Homework reading, approx. 30 pages (SEI requirement) Day 2 Review of homework reading Managing the Project Process Areas Project and Organizational Support Process Areas Product Development 2 Process Areas Improvement Infrastructure Process Areas Homework reading, approx. 30 pages (SEI requirement) Day 3 Review of homework reading Managing Quantitatively Process Areas Supporting Complex Environments Process Areas Tying It All Together Next Steps and Course Summary Course Objectives The course will help participants • Understand the importance of having defined processes within an engineering organization and the rationale for process improvement. • Comprehend the architecture of the CMMI models (maturity and capability levels, process areas, goals, and generic practices). • Gain a sufficient understanding of PA components to function on a CMMI-Based Appraisal team. • Be able to apply the CMMI principles to meet the needs of systems engineering and software engineering organizations. Schedule Introduction to CMMI is a three-day course and typically runs 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Course Materials Participants will receive the Addison Wesley book, CMMI®: Guidelines for Process Integration and Product Improvement, Second Edition, a course notebook with SEI slides, and a copy of A Guide to the CMMI 2nd Edition by Ken Dymond, published 2007. Participants who attend all sessions receive an SEI certificate of completion and will be registered in the SEI course completion database. SEI-Authorized Instructors and PTI’s Unique Approach Cynthia Wise is an SEI-authorized instructor for Introduction to the CMMI®, v1.2 course, and co-author at the SEI of the original version of the CMM and a recognized authority on its interpretation and application. ® CMM, CMMI, and Capability Maturity Model are registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office by Carnegie Mellon University.
