MDM offers SEI-authorized Introduction to CMMI® training on the CMMI-DEV and CMMI-SVC constellations using certified instructors. These classes provide people with the basic knowledge of the CMMI® required to function as SCAMPISM appraisal team members. The classes can also be used to familiarize other organization members with the CMMI®. Shorter classes are available for senior and middle management and key technical people who might not serve on an appraisal team but desire a high-level understanding of the CMMI® and the role it plays in organization process improvement.
MDM uses SEI-certified CMMI® SCAMPI Lead AppraisersSM to train and lead appraisal teams. Team training is set up in accordance with organization needs. The model training is generally provided as a single three or four- day session. Appraisal team training typically is combined with the SCAMPI-A Readiness Review, which takes about one week on-site.
This half-day tutorial, which has been presented at the SEI Software Engineering Process Group Conference, the Air Force Software Technology Conference and the Digital Avionics Systems Conference, provides an overview of critical issues an organization must deal with in establishing and maintaining a viable process improvement program.
This one-day workshop provides Process Action Teams with the knowledge, skills and resources required to successfully develop and implement new or revised processes. The 9-step process is documented in ETVX format, which is also used by the team to document the model of the process they are working on. Each step in the process has entry and exit criteria, roles, measures, standards and tools, and assorted templates and guidelines.
This five-day workshop provides an organization with practical understanding and information to assist them in starting a process improvement program.
