Presentation
This course provides the essential foundation for understanding the principles of the CMMI for Development framework.
Building on CMM, CMMI is an internationally recognised framework for systems and software design and development.
CMMI complements approaches such as ISO, ITIL and COBIT.
Objectives
This seminar comprises 13 modules with examples and practical implementation case studies. The teaching approach is based on active participation.
The objectives of this course are to:
- Understand the power of the process approach within an organisational strategy for continual improvement.
