COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course introduces systems and software engineering managers and practitioners, appraisal team members, and engineering process group (e.g., SEPG, EPG) members to 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 has been updated to be part of Version 1.2 of the CMMI Product Suite. The course was also improved to respond to change requests submitted by students, instructors, and others.

The course is composed 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 fulfills a prerequisite requirement for any course requiring an official SEI Introductory CMMI course.
