Course # Class Title Class Status Instructor Sponsor
CSM002 CMMI Overview One class per year CSM APPEL
The SEI Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) describes a framework that organizations can use to determine their ability to develop and maintain systems. This framework provides guidance for improving an organization's processes and its ability to manage the development, acquisition and maintenance of products and services. This four-hour briefing is recommended for Branch managers, project members, and others who want to learn about the CMMI, its costs and benefits, and what it will take to achieve a given level of certification. The course is also an excellent initiation for project teams beginning a process improvement effort. It includes a brief history of process improvement efforts and the CMMI; describes the intent and structure of the model, including all 25 Process Areas; and provides a detailed description of the Maturity Level 2 and 3 requirements, along with the implications and typical associated costs of implementing a successful improvement program. The primary difference between this four-hour class and the two-hour "CMMI for Executives" briefing is in the number of Process Areas that will be covered and the depth in which they'll be discussed.

GSFC003 Using CMMI for Improvement at GSFC ON-LINE Sally Godfrey NASA/GSFC EPG
Systems Engineering Lecture given on June 1, 2004.

HQ002 Basic Principles of Practical Configuration Management Three classes per year SSCI NASA/HQ OCE
This class provides course participants with a foundation in sound CM principles. Participants are presented the four high-level CM process elements that can be used as a springboard for defining and improving their own CM-related processes, roles, methods, and tools. This course will help participants develop basic CM skills for identifying configuration items, determining levels of control and baselines within a product life cycle, identifying an appropriate structure for a configuration library, and conducting audits to maintain baseline integrity. This class is led by an instructor via a Webex interface. The intended audience for this course includes process participants, individuals with CM responsibilities, such as project configuration managers, configuration management team members, and members of Change Control Boards. This course will also be valuable to project managers and project team members, such as requirements analysts, designers, developers, and testers, process developers and process improvement personnel, such as SEPG and Process Action Team (PAT) members. For information on registration, please contact Susan Sekira at 301 286-6160.

ISD015 Process Overview Scheduled SPI Project NASA/GSFC EPG
This training provides a high-level overview of the Information Systems Division's (ISD's) software processes. All GSFC Class B software projects should begin to use these processes to move towards compliance with NASA software engineering requirement, NPR 7150.2. These processes are also key to the achievement of Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) Level 2. The training will cover the following processes: Project Planning; Project Monitoring & Control; Risk Management; Requirements Management; Configuration Management; Process and Product Quality Assurance; Measurement and Analysis; and Acquisition. Guidelines on how to apply these concepts to projects will be included.

ISD017 ISD Configuration Management Planned ISD TBD
The description for this course is not yet available.

SEI005 Managing Technological Change Scheduled SEI NASA/HQ
This course provides participants with skills and knowledge that will help them introduce new technology or continuous improvement initiatives smoothly and effectively. During this course, participants learn a structured approach for dealing with the organizational and human aspects of technology transition, including the key concepts of change management, communication, and managing resistance. This course consists of a set of carefully focused lectures, integrated with hands-on exercises that allow participants to apply the lecture content.
