Course Description

This four-and-a-half-day course is the primary qualifying activity for those interested in becoming authorized team leaders for the Standard CMMI^® Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI^SM) B and C methods. SCAMPI B and C are effective diagnostic tools that can be used to facilitate CMMI-based process improvement, as well as overall improvement strategies. These methods help organizational maturity by identifying process strengths and weaknesses as related to the best practices of one or more CMMI models.

The course is centered around interactive, focused case study exercises, and is supplemented with lectures and individual work assignments to be completed before and during the week that the course is offered. Performance evaluation is based on a variety of learning measures, including the pretest, in-class exercises, homework assignments, and an open book final exam.
