SEPG — Leading the Way Since 1988

The SEPG Conference Series provides a destination for software, systems, and services professionals interested in getting their organizations, their teams, and themselves to perform at a higher level. With a strategic focus of bringing the latest experiences, methods, and results in process management to professionals around the world, the SEI hosts SEPG conferences in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific and co-hosts an SEPG conference in Latin America.

The SEPG North America Conference is the original SEPG Conference. Started in 1988 as a small workshop, SEPG North America has grown into the premier conference for software and systems professionals in government, industry, and academia. Each year, SEPG North America attracts attendees from around the world to learn, network, and share ideas.

Software engineering professionals focused on process management have long turned to the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) for professional development in the disciplines of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Product Suite, Team Software Process (TSP), People-CMM, and measurement and analysis. SEPG Conferences provide a venue for knowledge sharing, learning, and networking in these and more areas. The conferences continue to make a significant impact in the industry. Consider these facts:

• SEPG North America is the longest running conference focused on process management.
• SEI process management models are complementary and synergistic with other widely recognized practices such as Six Sigma, Agile, ITIL, and ISO standards.
• More than 100,000 individuals have been trained in the Introduction to CMMI.
• Nearly 3,000 organizations worldwide have been appraised against CMMI for Development (CMMI-DEV).
• The SEI Partner Network consists of 400+ organizations licensed to deliver courses and conduct appraisals.
• Leading research firms have identified CMMI-DEV as the de facto standard for process improvement.
• The CMMI Product Suite has been expanded to meet market demands in the areas of acquisition (CMMI-ACQ) and service delivery (CMMI-SVC).
• A Mexican national initiative to adopt TSP as a required best practice was announced in May 2008.
