CMMI Level 2 Program Workshop |
|
Purpose: The purpose of this workshop is to work with participants to create the foundation elements used in implementing a Maturity Level 2 CMMI program in technology organizations — large or small. The workshop deals in CMMI education but its main focus is on program requirements, design, planning, and creation.
The emphasis of this workshop is the practical realization of your program objectives. Time is spent on Process Area reviews and information presentation, but the bulk of the workshop is dedicated to working out the fundamentals of a Level 2 program that you can take back with you, into your organizational environment, and implement.
Schedule: Day 1: 8:30—5:30 The first day focuses on reviewing the Goals and Practices of the 7 Processes Areas generally accounted for in a Level 2 program.
Section 1—Introduction Section 2—Level 2 Process Areas, PP and PMC Section 3—Level 2 Process Areas, RM and CM Section 4—Level 2 Process Areas, MA, PPQA, SAM Section 5—Work Session 1—Goals
Day 2: 8:30—5:30 The second day focuses on the practical application of the Goals and Practices according to your program scope and objectives. Here we begin to work in application sessions and work sessions, all geared to putting your program into actionable shape.
Section 6—Review Section 7—Institutionalization Section 8—Work Session 2—Accounting for GPs Section 9—Components of PP Section 10—Components of PMC Section 11—Work Session 3—PP/PMC
Day 3: 8:30—4:30 The third day continues with more application sessions and work sessions geared toward creating Level 2 components, elements, and plans.
Section 12—Components of RM Section 13—Components of CM Section 14—Work Session 4—RM/CM Section 15—Components of MA Section 16—Components of PPQA Section 17—Components of SAM Section 18—Work Session 5—PPQA/MA/SAM Section 19—Next Steps
Day 4: 8:30—1:30 (Elective) This final day is optional for attendees. We provide scheduled 1-hour consultation sessions in which we meet with you and review your workshop materials and address any specific questions or comments you might have concerning what your next steps might be, any unique issues you might want to address, and what goals and objectives you might want to set for your Level 2 program.
