This three-day course introduces systems and software engineering managers and practitioners, appraisal team members, and engineering process group (e.g., SEPG, EPG) members to Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI) fundamental concepts. CMMI models are tools that help organizations improve their ability to develop and maintain quality products and services. CMMI models are an integration of best practices from proven discipline-specific process improvement models, including the CMM® for Software, EIA 731, and the Integrated Product Development CMM.
This course incorporates concepts from both of the original “Introduction to CMMI” courses. The course also includes improvements to slides, exercises, and other course materials identified in other change requests submitted by the community.
The course consists of lectures and class exercises with ample opportunity for participant questions and discussions. After attending the course, participants will be able to describe the components of CMMI models and their relationships, discuss the process areas in CMMI models, and locate relevant information in the model.
This course fulfils a prerequisite requirement for any course requiring an official SEI Introductory CMMI course (e.g. this course is required for all team members of a SCAMPI A appraisal).
