SPEAKER PRESENTATION
Conference Track: Practical Guidance
Continuous Improvement is a well-used term but obtaining true continuous performance improvement in an ongoing basis remains elusive in most organizations. We’ll reveal an approach that has enabled multiple companies to obtain true continual performance improvement through the use of a combination of Agile Development techniques (such as Scrum) to establish an improvement engine and Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) and Lean Six Sigma (LSS) to obtain maximum performance. This approach will be described using real-world examples of organizations that are successfully using it and the real benefits and pit-falls will be described along-the-way .
Conference Track: CMMI Adoption – V2.0 Experiences
We will describe the challenges and items to watch for when moving a small business from CMMI-DEV v1.3 to CMMI V2 that is operating at ML5. Although the expectations of each Maturity Level and the many of the expectations of the practices have remained the same there are some new expectations and new considerations that should be considered and planned appropriately. Additionally, we'll describe how the high maturity practices and many other expectations of CMMI were embedded in tools and made a natural part of the project activities and how moving to CMMI V2 affected the tools and infrastructure.
