Course Description
|
| |
This one-day course introduces executives, managers, potential sponsors, champions, and practitioners of process improvement to the fundamental concepts of Capability Maturity Modeling® and the value it can bring to organizations using a CMMI® model. It also describes an approach to model-based process improvement and provides some recommendations on how to initiate and sustain a process improvement initiative within an organization based upon the SEI's IDEALSM model. These models and approaches are pragmatic applications of proven management and quality improvement concepts for product development, acquisition, and maintenance. They are de facto standards developed and owned by the product development community and are models for organizational improvement.
The course is composed of lectures with ample opportunity for participant questions and discussions. After attending the course, participants understand the language, rationale, and approach of CMMI-based process improvement. Participants learn how process improvement can benefit them and their organizations by learning how other organizations have realized their business objectives by pursuing process improvement.
