Course Description

 

This five-day course introduces attendees to detailed People CMM® concepts, including the relationships among People CMM model components. The People CMM is a framework that organizations can use to help improve their ability to ensure that their staff members have the competencies to achieve an organization's current and future business objectives.

The course is composed of mandatory pre-class assignments, class lectures, class exercises and an exam, and is presented in a facilitative style designed to create dialog among participants and instructors. This style of interaction is designed to help prepare participants to determine the adequacy of their organization's implementation of the People CMM process areas. After attending, participants will have a deep understanding of the People CMM. Those successfully completing the course will be able to use the People CMM to develop an effective process improvement program. Further, they will be able to interpret their experiences using other process improvement models to apply to People CMM process improvement.

Successful completion of this course requires active class participation, class presentations, and a passing score on a test that covers the concepts taught in this course. This course is a prerequisite for SCAMPI for People CMM Lead AppraiserSM Training and People CMM Instructor Training.
