Introduction
The National Defense Industrial Association Systems Engineering Division is
pleased to announce the 11th Annual CMMI® (Capability Maturity Model
Integration) Technology Conference & User Group. The purpose of the conference is to exchange ideas, concepts and lessons learned concerning the continuing evolution, adoption and use of the CMMI® and its associated appraisal (assessment and evaluation) methods. This conference brings together CMMI® adopters, users, developers and appraisers, as well as those with general interest in process improvement. It provides a forum for the free exchange of ideas and affords a unique opportunity to meet with the sponsors, developers and stewards of the CMMI®, as well as those offering CMMI® training and implementation assistance. Emphasis will be placed on CMMI® implementation methods and strategies, return on investment and program/project performance benefits.
NDIA is hosting co-located conferences, the CMMI® Technology Conference and the Physics-Based Modeling in Design & Development for U.S. Defense Conference (www.ndia.org/meetings/2170).
What does this mean for you?
- Opportunities to attend both the Physics-Based Modeling in Design & Development and CMMI conferences for one price.
- Networking opportunities with all attendees at coffee breaks, continental breakfasts, luncheons, and receptions.
Background
The CMMI® was developed in cooperation with commercial and defense industry, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the Software Engineering Institute and has become the de facto standard for integrated process improvement across multiple disciplines and areas of interest within commercial and defense industry, and governments, worldwide. This conference addresses all categories of users and applications and seeks to help provide a better understanding of CMMI® implementation worldwide for all adopters and users. CMMI® has clearly demonstrated real and tangible benefits to users, including defect containment, earlier detection of defects, improved delivered product quality and overall improved product development performance and this conference will also highlight recent data on such benefits, including the latest CMMI® release of CMMI®-Services. CMMI® version 1.3 that further seeks to improve the integrity and reduce inconsistencies of CMMI® product suite is in final development and will also be discussed in depth at the conference.
