This three-day course introduces systems and software engineering managers and practitioners, appraisal team members, and engineering process group (e.g., SEPG, EPG) members to CMMI^® fundamental concepts. CMMI models are tools that help organizations improve their ability to develop and maintain quality products and services. This course has been updated to be part of Version 1.3 of the CMMI Product Suite.

*CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) models are tools that help organizations improve their ability to develop and maintain quality products and services. CMMI models are an integration of best practices from proven discipline-specific process improvement models.

This course is recognized by SEI (Software Engineering Institute of Carnegie Mellon University). It is the prerequisite for Appraisal Team Member (ATM) planning to participate in a SCAMPI (Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement) appraisal.

Learning objectives

After attending the course, participants will be able to describe the components of CMMI models and their relationships, discuss the process areas in CMMI models, and locate relevant information in the model.

Who should attend

This course is designed for developers and process implementer who are interested to know about the CMMI  model.

There are no prerequisite for this course.

The course is composed of lectures and class exercises with ample opportunity for participant questions and discussions.
