The Software Engineering Institute has now published a new generation of maturity model, the CMMI. It will progressively replace the existing SW-CMM. CMMI covers a broader domain since it addresses not only software but also system aspects. It is also published in 2 representations: "staged" (like SW-CMM®) or "continuous" (as required by the emerging standard ISO15504, as a result of the SPICE project).

The expertise on CMMI is still rare because the transition to CMMI is recent. You now have access here, in your area, to an expertise that is authorized by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) without having to travel to the SEI in Pittsburgh, USA.

Participants will become familiar with the concepts and content of CMMI. The emphasis is on each process area in this model and on goals and practices associated with each; they will also be able to make appropriate judgments on how an organisation satisfies any of the process areas of the CMMI. This course also helps to identify where improvement should happen,using the structure and the preferred path suggested by the CMMI.

This course is presented by QAI and it is a PREREQUISITE for the "CMMI Intermediate" course provided exclusively by the SEI.
