KMS provides CMMI training both virtually and in a face-to-face classroom setting.
The Building Organizational Capability (BOC) course is a comprehensive, introductory course for those who want to learn about the entire model (core and domain-specific practice areas) and to obtain an overview of the CMMI Performance Solutions ecosystem. This 3-day course covers all 8 domains in the model and will teach you how to use the CMMI model to find the information that you need to implement the practices of the model. At the conclusion of the course, you will be ready to take the Practitioner Exam and will be awarded the Practitioner Certification when you pass the exam.
The figure below shows the pathway for obtaining the Practitioner Certification and becoming an appraisal team member.
KMS uses training material that is provided by CMMI Institute to conduct this course, and the training includes individual and group activities, discussions and presentations. The instructor provides “real world” examples to help the learner connect what is heard in the course with the work that is done “back in the office.” KMS usually conducts public virtual courses, but if your organization would like to have a private or “in person” course, contact us.

“Sharon Graves has been an excellent instructor. She helped foster a collaborative work environment which made the class far more engaging than otherwise. She has a vast and in-depth level of understanding of the subject matter that aided her in providing practical examples (many of which may be first hand) to help us draw a connection in the principles being taught and how the could/would be implemented when we return to our offices, projects and programs.”
