Overview to CMMI For Development Ver 1.3

CMMI®-DEV (Capability Maturity Model Integration for Development Version 1.3) is a well known industry recognized model to propel process improvements in systems engineering and software engineering. The model provides a well structured path to process improvement leading to process excellence which in turn leads to delivery excellence and customer satisfaction.

The overview to CMMI for Development Ver 1.3 course introduces participants to the model philosophy, structure and its fundamental concepts. The course discussion emphasizes understanding of the five maturity levels and the 22 Process Areas (PAs) of the model. The course details two representations, namely: Staged and Continuous representation. The course also focuses on the difference between version 1.2 and version 1.3.
