Why Take This Course
![man-wonders-why.png](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6cb5e1_b2faae529c0b4e26b83364c84a677697~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_266,h_240,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/man-wonders-why.png)
This one-day class builds upon your existing knowledge of CMMI V2 to provide you with a basic understanding of the CMMI Development (CMMI-DEV) view of the model.
The Foundations of Capability class is a strict prerequisite. (It's where you get that "existing knowledge" mentioned above.)
(CMMI V1.3 fans: The V2 rough equivalent of the three-day Introduction to CMMI V1.3 is the two-day Foundations of Capability followed by the appropriate one-day Building Excellence course [Development or Services].)
This course is currently only available from us through live, virtual instructor-led training using Zoom.
Who Should Attend
This class should be attended by anyone who has had Foundations of Capability and may be:
-
Heavily involved in CMMI-DEV V2-based improvement
-
A candidate CMMI-DEV V2 appraisal team member
-
Interested in becoming a Certified CMMI Associate or Certified CMMI Professional, and would like to know more about CMMI-DEV for the exam.
-
Simply interested in learning about CMMI Development V2.
