This one-day course introduces acquisition managers and practitioners, appraisal team members, and process group (e.g., SEPG, EPG) members to CMMI® fundamental concepts related to acquisition. CMMI for Acquisition (CMMI-ACQ) is a CMMI model designed for use in managing a supply chain by those who acquire, procure, or otherwise select and purchase products and services for business purposes. This CMMI model focuses on acquirer processes and contains best practices that address activities for initiating and managing the acquisition of products and services that meet the needs of the customer. Some types of acquisitions that would benefit from using CMMI-ACQ include government acquisition, supply chain management, procurement, and outsourcing.
The course is composed of lectures and class exercises with ample opportunity for participant questions and discussions. After attending the course, participants will be able to describe the CMMI-ACQ model, discuss the model's process areas, and locate relevant information in the model.
This course with its prerequisite, Introduction to CMMI Version 1.2, fulfills a prerequisite requirement for any course requiring an official SEI Introductory CMMI for Acquisition course. This course is also a prerequisite for being a lead appraiser or team member on a SCAMPI appraisal using the CMMI-ACQ model.
