SUMMARY:Integrating CMMI\, ISO 9001 and A-SPICE
DESCRIPTION:When the gap between management and engineering is widening … \nThe auto industry today is replete with internal rancor. While the multi-model approach seemed effective at the time it was introduced\, ISO/TS\, CMMI and Auto SPICE have been poorly integrated throughout North America\, and as a result\, management and engineering are acting like independent entities.

SUMMARY:Scaling and Strengthening Agile
DESCRIPTION:Everybody is talking about Agile. Throughout the world\, IT and Software Engineering organizations are embracing agile methods to take advantage of the benefits of incremental and iterative delivery. Large corporations and the Federal Government are increasingly directing software developers to “be agile\,” but business practices related to marketing\, procurement\, project management\, and systems definition are anything but. These organizations all heavily outweigh software development both in budget and in influence. \nWhile more software developers are living in an agile world\, the business continues to live in a waterfall. It’s not a conflict that will be easily resolved\, but there is opportunity to take control of the debate. Agile Resiliency is about strengthening and reinforcing Agile values\, methods\, and techniques so that it can scale and thrive in this conflicted environment by integrating with the architectural strengths of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)\, a proven and widely adopted framework used to deploy a continuous improvement infrastructure. While the CMMI has been successfully deployed for years in support of more “traditional” engineering projects\, it is methodology agnostic\, so its strength can also be leveraged to strengthen Agile methods. Why not embrace both? \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Scaling and Strengthening Agile
DESCRIPTION:Everybody is talking about Agile. Throughout the world\, IT and Software Engineering organizations are embracing agile methods to take advantage of the benefits of incremental and iterative delivery. Large corporations and the Federal Government are increasingly directing software developers to “be agile\,” but business practices related to marketing\, procurement\, project management\, and systems definition are anything but. These organizations all heavily outweigh software development both in budget and in influence. \nWhile more software developers are living in an agile world\, the business continues to live in a waterfall. It’s not a conflict that will be easily resolved\, but there is opportunity to take control of the debate. Agile Resiliency is about strengthening and reinforcing Agile values\, methods\, and techniques so that it can scale and thrive in this conflicted environment by integrating with the architectural strengths of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)\, a proven and widely adopted framework used to deploy a continuous improvement infrastructure. While the CMMI has been successfully deployed for years in support of more “traditional” engineering projects\, it is methodology agnostic\, so its strength can also be leveraged to strengthen Agile methods. Why not embrace both? \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Integrating CMMI\, ISO 9001 and A-SPICE
DESCRIPTION:When the gap between management and engineering is widening … \nThe auto industry today is replete with internal rancor. While the multi-model approach seemed effective at the time it was introduced\, ISO/TS\, CMMI and Auto SPICE have been poorly integrated throughout North America\, and as a result\, management and engineering are acting like independent entities. Miscommunication leads to trust issues arising between the “ISO/TS side of the business” (management) and the “CMMI and Auto SPICE side of the business” (engineering). This mistrust leads to friction\, which causes waste. \nThere are many reasons to pursue a Multi-Model Improvement approach to streamlining and strengthening the way you do business: \n\nYou are tired of wasting effort by doubling your work – i.e.\, doing your work in one tool and reporting in another\nYou are hampered by a widening gap between management and engineering\nYou are struggling to improve requirements churn and volatility\, meet schedule and budget\, and perform the work you do every day\nYou want better visibility\nYou want to streamline reporting and eliminate duplication and overlap\nYou want to retain top employees\nYou want to have better quality products\nYou want greater customer satisfaction\nYou want to prevent losing business to competitors\n\nJoin us for the latest Webinar in our “Everything You NEED to Know!” Series: “Multi-Model Improvement.” Designed specifically for organizations that have a CMMI Maturity Level 2 or Level 3 rating and want the benefits of aligning CMMI\, ISO/TS and Auto SPICE\, “Multi-Model Improvement” gives you everything you NEED to get started! \nRegister Today
