CMMI Training
SES has adopted Software Engineering Institutes (SEI) Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) model for process improvement. SES had established Process Management Group (PMG) to establish, improve, support, train and implement both CMMI specific practices and general process improvement opportunities. SES’s Focus and Commitment to Quality is driven by securing the future with stability in the competitive market share. Focusing on defined, mature, repeatable processes minimizes the risk of losing loyal customers. PMG establishes documented policies, standards, and procedures.

  • Policies: Provide direction from management that define the workbench of the work task, activity, problems, and function.

  • Standards: The standards are a specific statement of rules, constraints and requirements to be followed to achieve a particular objective by the worker. The measure used to evaluate products and identify nonconformance. The basis upon which adherence to policies are measured.

  • Procedure: A standardized series of steps followed in a regular definite order to accomplish a particular objective.

PMG oversees the following

  • Training the CMMI and its process areas.
  • Pursuing process improvements.
  • Maintaining the Process Asset Library (PAL).
  • Assisting projects, particularly in understanding and tailoring processes from the PAL.
  • The PMG supports teams and projects by helping them implement SES processes.
  • The PMG collects metrics from teams and projects to identify process improvement opportunities.
  • The PMG is responsible for approving all processes and artifacts before being promoted to the SES PAL.
  • Process Improvement Recommendations are submitted to the PMG for review and approval.
