The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) was created by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to evaluate the capability of DoD contractors to develop quality software on cost and on budget. It was then used extensively by industry to determine the maturity of their software development process, identify its weaknesses, and plan improvement actions. The five levels of maturity of CMM V1.1 and their Key Process Areas (KPAs) are introduced in the context of their TQM origins. Level 2 (basic project management practices) is analyzed in depth. Numerous exercises help put the model in the context of the organization by performing mini gap analyses.
BenefitsThis one day intensive seminar is designed for practitioners who want to work smarter, not harder. Members of QA, software and system engineering, management and process specialists will benefit by learning a common language and by discussing software engineering practices that are accepted world-wide. Each student will receive a copy of all speaker foils, a list of URLs (including how to access major CMM documents), and an extensive bibliography for further studies. The seminar concludes with the definition of a personal action plan.
Seminar TopicsThe seminar includes short lectures and group exercises. The following topics are covered:
