CMMI® Overview - Only $750.00*

This is a 2 hour session to provide basic knowledge of the CMMI®, and what benefits it can provide for your organization. The goal of the course is to provide a management with enough understanding of the CMMI®to facilitate decision making on how best to proceed at low cost and with minimum initial time commitment. The areas of coverage in this course include Project Management, Process Management, Engineering, and Support as well as Generic Practices, a critical aspect of CMMI®.

Process Management process areas of CMMI® contain the cross-project practices related to defining, planning, resourcing, deploying, implementing, monitoring, controlling, verifying, measuring, and improving processes:

·         Organizational Process Focus

·         Organizational Process Definition

·         Organizational Training

·         Organizational Process Performance

·         Organizational Innovation and Deployment

Project Management process areas of CMMI® cover the project management activities related to planning, monitoring, and controlling the project:

·         Project Planning

·        Project Monitoring and Control

·         Supplier Agreement Management

·         Integrated Project Management

·         Risk Management

·         Quantitative Project Management

Support process areas of CMMI® cover the practices that support product development and maintenance:

·         Configuration Management

·         Process and Product Quality Assurance

·         Measurement and Analysis

·         Decision Analysis and Resolution

·         Causal Analysis and Resolution

Engineering process areas of CMMI® cover the development and maintenance practices that are shared across engineering disciplines (for example, systems engineering and software engineering). The six engineering process areas have inherent interrelationships. These interrelationships stem from applying a product development process rather than discipline-specific processes such as software engineering or systems engineering:

·         Requirements Development

·         Requirements Management

·         Technical Solution

·         Product Integration

·         Verification

·         Validation

The structure of the Model (Continuous and Staged) is discussed focused on the best representation for your organization.

Because the Generic Practices (GP) are so important to successful CMMI® implementation, they are covered in this overview.  The Generic Practices under each Generic Goal (GG) are:

GG 1 Achieve Specific Goals

GP 1.1 Identify Work Scope

GP 1.2 Perform Base Practices

GG 2 Institutionalize a Managed Process

GP 2.1 Establish an Organizational Policy

GP 2.2 Plan the Process

GP 2.3 Provide Resources

GP 2.4 Assign Responsibility

GP 2.5 Train People

GP 2.6 Manage Configurations

GP 2.7 Identify and Involve Relevant Stakeholders

GP 2.8 Monitor and Control the Process

GP 2.9 Objectively Evaluate Adherence

GP 2.10 Review Status with Higher-Level Management

GG 3 Institutionalize a Defined Process

GP 3.1 Establish a Defined Process

GP 3.2 Collect Improvement Information

GG 4 Institutionalize a Quantitatively Managed Process

GP 4.1 Establish Quality Objectives

GP 4.2 Stabilize Subprocess Performance

GG 5 Institutionalize an Optimizing Process

GP 5.1 Ensure Continuous Process Improvement

GP 5.2 Correct Common Cause of Problems

This course will focus on your needs to best achieve process improvement for your organization.
