| Motivation for the Training
Are you tasked with implementing CMMI® and facing one these challenges?
- Insufficient time
- Insufficient people
- Lack of knowledge
- Resistance to participation
- Refusal to use new processes
- Processes the size of phone books
- No tangible benefits after 1 year of implementation
- Failure to sustain new practices
|
This workshop is designed for organizations which have chosen CMMI ® as its process improvement model and are just starting on its journey or is facing difficulties implementing it. Conventional roadmaps for CMMI ® implementation are insufficient to create sustainable improvement because they do not use key drivers necessary to develop and maintain positive momentum that involves everyone in the organization. The typical result is a massive and complex set of impressive process documents that projects resist using and stall the program or achieve the desired appraisal result and become obsolete right after it, creating an organizational trauma that becomes the weed that will choke future efforts in improvement. |
This course will show the participants how to implement the model as a continuous improvement program and achieve tangible business results by using effective leadership and management methods. You will learn how to strategize, evaluate, diagnose, plan and communicate so that the organization can systematically achieve better process performance. This course will describe a change management approach combines tools from Six Sigma, Kaizen and other process improvement methods. References for process area solution development will also be provided. |
Course Format
|
The course comprises of presentations, handouts, role-play/exercises, sharing of industry best practices and feedback sessions. The course uses individual and group based exercises with real-life examples consciously designed to help participants internalize the concepts and techniques and develop a measure of confidence in their application. |
