Webinar Series and Workshop Provide CMMI Measurement Strategies
WATERLOO, ONTARIO- MKS Inc. (TSX:MKX) has joined David Consulting Group (DCG) in hosting a two-part Webinar Series on CMMI Measurement and Process Enforcement. The webinars come in response to increasing interest from software engineering organizations in using the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) as their process framework to achieve higher levels of process maturity and improve software quality. Organizations undertaking a process improvement effort often struggle with establishing and maintaining a measurement program that is effective, efficient and compliant with CMMI. For a program to be effective, it must ensure that measurements adequately address the business needs and provide sufficient process data for monitoring and evaluating any gains that are made. MKS and David Consulting Group addressed these issues in the following webinars: CMMI Compliant Measurement - originally aired January 31, 1:00 PM EST and will be available in the MKS archives. Patricia Eglin of DCG discussed what it takes to satisfy the CMMI requirements for measurement across various Levels and Process Areas, as well as how to ensure alignment between the metrics reported on and the business goals. http://www.mks.com/cmmi_compliant_metrics_webinar.
