This three-day course introduces the fundamental concepts of Capability Maturity Model Integration® (CMMI®) to systems and software engineering managers and practitioners, appraisal team members, engineering process groups (i.e. SEPG, EPG). CMMI® models are tools that help organizations improve their ability to develop and maintain quality products and services. CMMI® model is an integration of best practices from proven discipline-specific process improvement models including the CMM® for Software, EIA 731, and the Integrated Product Development CMM®.

This course has been updated to be part of Version 1.2 of the CMMI® Product Suite. It was also further improved as based on the change requests submitted by students and instructors.

The course employs upon series of lectures and exercises with ample opportunity for participant questions and discussions. After the course, delegates will be able to describe the components of CMMI® models and their relationships, discuss the process areas in CMMI® models and locate relevant information in the model.

This course fulfills a prerequisite requirement for any course requiring an official SEI Introductory CMMI® course.
