Attendees for this course must bring their own copies of the Introduction to CMMI Version 1.2 textbook, CMMI: Guidelines for Process Integration and Product Improvement, Second Edition. A limited number of reference copies will be available in the classroom.
This 4-day course is the definitive source of information about CMMI levels 4 and 5. If your organization is or plans to be a high-performance organization that consistently uses high maturity practices, this course is a must. This course explains what high maturity is and its characteristics. It provides detailed explanations of the concepts and practices at maturity levels 4-5 as well as examples of how statistical methods and tools can be applied to assist in the proper implementation of these practices.
CMMI levels 4 and 5 and Six Sigma are a powerful combination that enables organizations to achieve engineering excellence. This course covers both Six Sigma concepts and tips for effectively performing, managing, and improving processes. Process-performance baselines, process-performance models, control charts and other techniques are explained and their use is demonstrated through examples and exercises.
The course is composed of lectures and exercises with ample opportunity for participant questions and discussion. After attending the course, you will understand the concepts and issues related to CMMI levels 4 and 5 from theoretical, empirical, and practical perspectives.
