As organizations commit themselves to continuous improvement, the framework they use to do so must stay current and continually improve alongside them. The latest model of the CMMI framework is a significant improvement over the previous version, as it contains updates throughout to make the model content current with a broad set of industry needs and practices, such as DevSecOps, updates to Agile content, and inclusion of new content that aligns to and can be easily integrated with many local, national and international standards and frameworks. CMMI 3.0 now includes new domains, new Practice Areas, revamped content for all classes and exams, and a new Building Organizational Capability (BOC) course and corresponding Practitioner’s Exam.
This new credentialing pathway aligns with ISACA’s tools, systems and best practices to provide professionals with enhanced capability improvement skills and to prepare them to become CMMI Practitioners and Appraisal Team Members (ATMs). The re-evaluated experience options allow participants easy entry and progression along the pathway, while streamlining maintains flexible learning options for the CMMI Partners and ecosystem. With this versatile structure, both newcomers and experienced CMMI Associates can leverage the model based on their proficiency and experience level.
There are expanding opportunities in conducting appraisals in the following areas, including the introduction of three new domains:
- Data Management (new!)
- Development
- People Management (new!)
- Safety
- Security
- Services
- Supplier Management
- Virtual Work (new!)
And in addition to the new BOC course, there are also several other courses available, including:
- Foundations of Capability: for individuals new to CMMI who want to learn how to use the model and the business value of improving capability.
- Building Development Excellence Course: teaches participants how to build capability in developing or engineering products or services.
- Building Services Excellence Course: teaches participants how to build capability in delivering and managing services.
- High Maturity Concepts Course: teaches participants how high maturity organizations build competitive advantage through building capability for data-driven decisions and continuous improvement.
- Lead Appraiser Training: teaches participants how to become Lead Appraisers by introducing them to the Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI).
- CMMI Instructor Training: for participants seeking to teach individuals and organizations how to get started on the path to CMMI success.
CMMI practices have elevated organizations’ performances, improved quality, reduced inefficiencies and enabled better service for their customers for years. The latest model offers a new course and greater flexibility to continue the commitment to improvement, allowing organizations to tailor the adoption of CMMI to their specific needs.
