After a conference attendee admits to not knowing much about CMMI, Jeff Dalton gives a basic overview of the Model. He explains that CMMI is not a rule book to be followed. It’s also not a compliance model, nor is it ISO. Rather, CMMI is a process model and a behavioral model that can be thought of as a massive checklist of what great companies do.
This episode of CMMI-TV is taken from Jeff Dalton’s recent presentation at NY-SPIN. At www.broadswordsolutions.com/resources, you’ll find more strategies, tactics, tips and take-aways about using CMMI as a tool that can help transform your company culture and put you on the path to greatness.
