Course Summary

There's motherhood, apple pie, ...and the SEI Introduction to CMMI for Development!

This classic, three-day Intro to CMMI course is certified by the SEI (Software Engineering Institute) and serves as a thorough introduction to the world's leading model for the development of software-intensive systems: the CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) for Development (CMMI-DEV).

Focusing on the latest update of CMMI-DEV (Version 1.3), the class also provides the basic foundation needed to take the one-day SEI Services Supplement for CMMI. Both courses can only be delivered by a certified instructor affiliated with the SEI or an SEI Partner organization.

Class Materials

Who Should Attend

  • Anyone involved in CMMI-based process improvement initiatives (e.g., members of Engineering Process Groups)
  • Candidate appraisal team members
  • People wanting to take other SEI courses for which this is a pre-requisite (e.g., SEI Services Supplement for CMMI)
  • Anyone else interested in learning more about the CMMI.

What You'll Learn

By the end of the course, you should be able to:

  • Describe the components of the CMMI (goals, practices, required vs. expected components, etc.) and how they work together
  • Discuss each of the 22 process areas in the model
  • Know where to find information in the model, whether you're involved in a process improvement initiative or on an appraisal team.

Our unique, popular lunchtime jam session on Day 2 allows us to dive into popular topics that the course itself doesn't cover in detail.
