SEI Webinar Series for SPIN
The Software Engineering Institute began offering two webinars a month on our various technologies in July 2008. This tool allows us to provide web-based lectures to our 130 SPIN chapters simultaneously without leaving the office. It will also allow us to tailor presentations to meet your chapter’s specific needs. While the webinars are designed to meet the needs of the SPIN community; they are open for anyone to register.

Process Improvement in
Multi-Model Environments (PrIME) |
||
Organizations are using an ever-increasing set of international standards and models to manage their businesses, increase customer satisfaction, attain competitive advantage, and achieve process performance and regulatory compliance. In this presentation, currently available strategic and tactical methods for multi-model improvement will be presented. |

Workforce Issues of the 21st Century, The People CMM to the Rescue |
||
This presentation will open with a discussion of workforce issues that organizations are currently experiencing, potential side effects, and how these issues can affect performance and retention. Following will be an introduction to the People CMM and how it can assist organizations in implementing practices that build greater workforce capability and equip organizations to address potential current and future workforce issues. |

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) |
||
It is clear that Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is having a substantial impact on the way that software systems are developed. According to a 2007 Gartner Group report, 50% of new mission-critical operational applications and business processes were designed in 2007 around SOA, and that number will be more than 80% by 2010. This presentation will provide an overview of SOA (a development paradigm) and explain the implications that SOA adoption has on the processes used to develop service-oriented systems. |

A Jumpstart Method for Business Goals and Project Objectives Supporting CMMI High Maturity |
||
Many organizations pursuing CMMI High Maturity face difficulty in developing appropriate business goals and quality and performance objectives that support CMMI High Maturity practices including QPM and OPP. This webinar discusses the mechanics of one approach to jumpstart a business goal and objective activity such that the resulting statements readily support the planning of statistical management and process performance modeling. Participants will readily see that merely copying and pasting business goals to serve as project level objectives is not sufficient for QPM and OPP needs. |

Overview of the Master of Science in Information Technology, Software Engineering Management (MSIT-SEM) |
||
By coupling the professional courses of the SEI with elements of the graduate programs from the Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science and Heinz School, the MSIT-SEM prepares working professionals to apply SEI technologies and practices in managing organizations that continuously improve with advances in software. With areas of focus in technology, business, and management, the MSIT-SEM degree exposes students to the foundational and advanced concepts that will enable them to make good business decisions. Ideal for working IT managers, the MSIT-SEM degree program has a curriculum delivered mostly through distance learning, allowing staff members to earn a degree while continuing to work. |

CERT Resiliency Engineering Framework (REF) |
||
Organizations can improve operational resiliency by viewing it as an engineering-based process that can be defined, managed, measured, and improved. This session will demonstrate the CERT Resiliency Engineering Framework (REF) as a foundational model that provides a structure from which an organization can systematically identify its current capabilities and level of security effectiveness, assess resiliency targets and goals, and build a road map for continuous improvement. |
|||
Thursday, |
CMMI on the Web |
||
With the abundance of information on CMMI, this presentation will clarify what is available online for organizations starting and maintaining CMMI-based process improvement initiatives. While your implementation will be unique, there are definite commonalities for every CMMI implementation. This presentation will also show that efficiently accessing the available information has enormous tangible benefits for anyone interested in CMMI-based process improvement. The presentation will focus on three learner outcomes: 1) basic understanding of the CMMI Product Suite; 2) starting and sustaining a process improvement initiative based on CMMI; 3) learning about the Web sites, forums, tools, and user groups are available for organizations using CMMI. |

The Measurement and Analysis Infrastructure Diagnostic (MAID), Creating a Foundation for Effective Measurement and Analysis |
||
Organizations run on data. But how reliable is the data that organizations collect, analyze, and report? How useful are the reports to managers and decision makers? This webinar describes the current status of an effort to develop the Measurement and Analysis Infrastructure Diagnostic (MAID). MAID is a criteria-based approach for evaluating an organization’s measurement and analysis infrastructure. The method draws upon standards, best practices, and techniques from software engineering and process improvement |
|||
Thursday, |
CMMI for Services (CMMI-SVC) |
||
The CMMI-SVC extends the coverage of the CMMI from development and acquisition into service delivery. Currently, some service organizations apply CMMI V1.1 or CMMI-DEV V1.2 to service delivery, but this requires significant interpretation by both the organizations and their appraisers. CMMI-SVC will improve consistency and payoff and provide fuller coverage for process areas necessary to services that are not covered by the current CMMI models. The SEI lead for CMMI-SVC will give status on model development, describe experience and pilot results and brief the new content. |

Thursday, |
SEPG Conference Series Overview |
||
SEPG is the premier global conference series on software and systems process management. The SEPG Conference Series also sets the benchmark for excellence in the areas of acquisition, development, maintenance, security, and services. To better reflect the regional and global influences on software and systems process management, the SEPG Conference Series is expanding and tailoring its delivery to serve regional needs with conference offerings in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Australia. |

Thursday, |
Using the Team Software Process (TSP)
to Improve Performance |
||
Most process improvement initiatives fail. What makes TSP different? In this presentation, Tim explains what TSP
is and how it can relate to CMMI. He will show quantitative results he and others have seen through the use of TSP.
Tim will also discuss the people side of change, which can be one of the most difficult aspects of change, and how,
based on his personal experience as a project manager and process improvement lead, TSP can help overcome |
