About the Course
The Introduction to Capability Maturity Model Integration, Staged Representation course introduces participants to the CMMI Model and its fundamental concepts. The course discussion emphasizes understanding of the five maturity levels and the grouping of process areas (PAs).
This three-day course describes a framework that organisations can use to determine their ability to develop and maintain systems; it is a model for organisational improvement. The course is composed of lectures and class exercises with ample opportunity for participant questions and discussions.
Introduction to CMMI helps prepare participants to make valid judgments regarding an organisation's implementation of the process areas. The course is helpful in identifying issues that should be addressed in performing process improvement as structured by the CMMI model.
Audience
• Systems and software engineering managers and practitioners interested in understanding Capability Maturity Model-Integrated
• Assessment teams who are going to be using the CMMI-based assessment method in the future
• Systems and Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG/EPG) members who are leading process improvement
Are you comfortable with your staff's understanding of the new CMM-Integrated model?
Are you planning a CMMI-based improvement program and need a better grasp of the CMMI systems and software engineering issues involved?
Prerequisite
Participants must have knowledge of systems engineering, software engineering, and management, including exposure to quality assurance, configuration management, and basic management principles. This course can fulfill one of the prerequisites for CMMI-Based Appraisal training.
Topics
Topics covered in this course include:
• Introduction
• CMMI overview
• Engineering process maturity - CMMI principles
• Maturity levels and process areas of the CMMI Model Staged Representation
• Linking the process areas together
• Interpreting CMMI
• Application of CMMI
Objectives
Successful completion of this course will enable participants to understand the importance of having defined processes within an engineering organization and the rationale for process improvement.
Comprehend the architecture of the CMMI models (maturity levels, process areas, goals, and generic practices).
Gain a sufficient understanding of PA components to function on a CMMI-Based Appraisal team member. Be able to apply the CMMI principles to meet the needs of systems engineering and software engineering organizations.
Course Work
Two hours of reading homework will be assigned for the first and second evening of the course.
Course Material
As part of the course, participants will receive a course notebook.
Class Schedule
This is a three day course. Days one-three: 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Organisers
This course is organised by the SMU’s School of Information Systems in partnership with Hilbing & Associates and Software Technologies International, Inc
