About The Presentation
CMMI for small Business and Small Departments
Embracing process improvement has been beneficial for
large companies doing Federal and DOD contracts. Poor project
performance in the Federal environment was the principle reason for the
creation of the Software Engineering Institute in Pittsburg PA. Projects
were, late, over budget, out of scope and poor quality. The CMMI process
framework and infrastructure was created and is still being updated
today as a cure for these problems. The last 20 years of experience have
proven this.
Small business and small departments have benefited
tremendously, also. Why??? The bottom line is that ANY process
improvement is better than NO process improvement!
We will show how a small business or a small
department can easily select and implement the processes that most
benefit them. From Project Planning to Requirements Management, the CMMI
framework has something for all businesses. "
