CMM/CMMI

The goal of this workshop is to teach students how to be an effective Business Analyst and how to develop different types of requirements (Customer requirements, System Requirements, etc.) that are required in different phases of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Students will also learn how to ensure the product quality by developing quality requirements and managing requirements growth or changes efficiently.

The goal of this workshop is to prepare its participants for SEI’s CMMI Level 2 and Level 3 certifications. All Software Process Engineers in the organization will be trained to perform their duties based on their roles and responsibilities. Participants will learn the background, purpose, scope and benefits of CMMI model. They will also learn about the key Process Areas of all 5 levels (i.e., Initial, Managed, Defined, Quantitatively Managed and Optimized) with special emphasis on level 2 and 3 process areas. After completing this workshop, participants will be able to start preparing for official certification.

During this workshop, a standard set of tools, templates and techniques will be offered to all students so that they can start doing their jobs as soon as they get back to work. Moreover, a free on-line help will be available for all students who need to communicate to the instructor for some clarification or help to start performing the actual implementation. This free on-line support will be available for 30 days after students complete this workshop successfully. If necessary, on-site consultation can be arranged based on the project type and group size.
