Intermediate Concepts of CMMI Version 1.2

This five-day course introduces candidate SCAMPI Lead Appraisers, candidate CMMI instructors, systems and software engineers, engineering process group (e.g., EPG, SEPG) members, and others to detailed CMMI concepts, including the relationships among CMMI model components. CMMI models are tools that organizations can use to help improve their ability to develop and maintain quality products and services.

The course is composed of mandatory pre-class assignments, class lectures, student presentations, and class exercises and is presented in a facilitative style designed to create dialog among participants and instructors. This style of interaction is designed to help each participant gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and practices described in CMMI models. Those successfully completing the course will be able to understand the interrelationship among model components (practices, goals, and process areas), interpret CMMI practices and their experience, and apply CMMI models to appraise and improve processes in organizations.

Successful completion of this course requires the student to attain a passing score on an end-of-course examination that covers CMMI model knowledge and the concepts taught in this course. This course is a prerequisite for SCAMPI Lead Appraiser Training and CMMI Version 1.2 Instructor Training. Instructors will evaluate and document each student's participation and presentation/communication skills through their pre-course assignment and in-class activities. This information will be retained by the SEI as an aid to further training that the student may undertake.

Who should attend?

  • candidate lead appraisers for the SCAMPI Appraisal Method
  • candidate instructors interested in teaching the Introduction to CMMI course
  • systems and software engineers, process group (SEPG, EPG) personnel and others who need more in-depth knowledge of CMMI models

What will you learn?

This course will help participants to

  • establish links from their past model use and experiences to CMMI models
  • understand relationships among model components, including both staged and continuous model representations
  • understand how to interpret and apply CMMI models effectively
  • share, learn, and exchange ideas with other course participants
