The Software Engineering Management course is designed for novice- and intermediate-level software project managers and others who want to improve their understanding of project management activities. This intensive 5½ -day course includes classroom lectures and group workshops that allow the application of skills learned. Some workshops include evening work. Learning will be accomplished through lecture, class discussion, and participation in group workshops that use role play. Participants will be divided into four project teams that will plan a project and respond to changes that occur over various phases of the project life cycle. Each participant will serve as project manager for the team in at least one of the workshops. All team members will practice management skills during each workshop and interact with senior management and customer representatives. Participants should be familiar with creating a WBS, activity scheduling, staffing profiles, and project monitoring. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to plan a software project; apply progress monitoring and controlling techniques, including the concepts of earned value; find NASA polices, standards, and directives; understand the requirements documented in NPR 7150.2; develop a software Build Plan; manage stakeholder relationships; apply negotiation techniques, and respond effectively to customer changes throughout the software development life cycle. For further information, contact Sally Godfrey at (301) 286-5706 or Sara.H.Godfrey@nasa.gov.

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.

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.

This course is a 2-hour overview for senior decision makers 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 recommended for project managers, members of the Management Oversight Group (MOG), and other executives. 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 (PAs); and outlines the Maturity Level 2 and 3 requirements, along with the implications and typical associated costs of implementing a successful improvement program. This overview will help you understand the CMMI, what is needed to implement it in an organization, and how it can help improve a workgroup's processes to better meet project and product business objectives.
