CMMI Overview |
One class per year |

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.

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.

Intermediate Concepts of CMMI |
One class per year |
SEI |
NASA/HQ |
The Intermediate Concepts of Capability Maturity Model-Integrated (CMMI) course provides participants with a deeper understanding of the CMM®-Integrated Model and its fundamental concepts. The course discussion emphasizes deep understanding of the five maturity levels and the grouping of process areas (PAs) and of the six capability levels and the categories of PAs. The course is based on Version 1.0 of the CMMI SE/SW released in summer of 2000.
This five day-course describes a framework that organizations can use to determine their ability to develop and maintain well-engineered systems; it is a model for organizational improvement. The course is composed of lectures and class exercises with ample opportunity for participant demonstration, questions, and discussions.

Introduction to the CMMI |
One class per year |
CSMSoft |
APPEL |
This three-day course introduces systems and software engineering managers and practitioners, appraisal team members, and engineering process group (e.g., SEPG, EPG) members to Capability Maturity Model® Integration (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 process improvement models, including the CMM® for Software, EIA 731, and the Integrated Product Development CMM. This course focuses on the CMMI models with a continuous representation.
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 understand how CMMI models can apply to their organization's process improvement program. The course covers CMMI process area categories and their characteristic process areas.
Successful completion of this course is a prerequisite for Intermediate Concepts of CMMI, SCAMPI Lead Appraiser Training, and CMMI Instructor Training. Successful completion of the course requires active participation and attendance throughout the full three days.

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.

Mastering Process Improvement |
TBD |
SEI |
NASA/HQ |
Mastering Process Improvement presents a structured compendium of best practices in CMM-based process improvement. This five-day course addresses the intertwined challenges facing change agents. These challenges include both technical issues (e.g., process and metrics) and social issues (e.g., resistance, buy-in, and institutionalization). The course presents an approach to CMM-based process improvement called the Process Change Methodology (PCM). The PCM focuses on process improvement activities that occur following a CMM-Based Appraisal. There is a special emphasis on how new SEPGs can work towards achieving Maturity Level 2 while positioning the organization for the future challenges of Maturity Level 3.
Attendees will receive lectures on each of the eight stages of the PCM with focus on techniques and skills that are enablers for success. Each module includes an exercise where individuals and/or small groups of students will work with PCM tools and instruments to address process improvement scenarios and practice new skills. Course modules will conclude with a debriefing of the exercise with presentations and a discussion of the primary issues.
The concepts, techniques, experiences, and examples described in the course are drawn from numerous client partnerships between the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) and organizations in government and industry.
