Introduction to CMMI, Version 1.2 Course

Course Code: MQ 456
Course Abstract:

This course introduces software and systems engineering professionals to Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI®) fundamental concepts. CMMI models are frameworks that help organizations improve their ability to develop and maintain quality products and services.

The course, which has been updated to be part of Version 1.2 of the CMMI Product Suite, helps prepare participants to make valid judgments regarding an organization's implementation of the CMMI process areas. It is helpful, also, in identifying issues that should be addressed in performing process improvement as structured by the CMMI model.

This course fulfills a prerequisite requirement for any course requiring an official SEI Introductory CMMI course. Participants who successfully complete the course receive an SEI certificate of completion.
FORMAT
The general format is lecture combined with class exercises designed to illustrate and reinforce the concepts presented, with ample opportunity for participant questions and discussions.
