In this 1-day course, you will learn fundamental concepts about the SW-CMM SM, which is a framework that software organizations can use to examine their ability to acquire, develop, and maintain software. It is also a model for fostering organizational improvement.
This training is being offered by Integrated System Diagnostics (ISD) as a service to the IEEE. ISD is a transition partner of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) and licensed by the SEI to teach the Introduction to the SW-CMM SM course, which is a three day course. This course, an Overview of the CMM, is a tailored version of that course.
