Welcome to CMMI Made Practical

CMMI Made Practical 2011 was held on the 12-13th April at the prestigious Institute of Directors. Here's just some of the delegate feedback from this year:-

"I really enjoyed the conference and was pleased that wider change management topics were on the agenda. A well received event with a very positive feeling all round."

"A most excellent conference – I think the best yet. What particularly impressed me was the emphasis on the “practical” side of CMMI – it is easy to see the theoretical advantages of adopting the methodology but this year’s conference really focused in on “real” situations. I was especially impressed with Andrew (Brettle) and Paul (Boca)’s session on “Too Small for CMMI?”. I had always felt that CMMI could be applied successfully to small projects but this was really interesting and validated my thoughts!"

Year on year the feedback from the delegates is excellent, comments have included:

I would like to wholeheartedly recommend the CMMI Made Practical Conference for 2011. If the conference is on par with previous years, the practical take-aways, valuable to most businesses have huge value. I've adopted some of the thoughts and presentation ideas gleaned from the conference into my Programme and can honestly say, they have underpinned at least £500k of savings in only one year. Well worth while.

What does a smart Programme Director/Manager do when faced with the challenge of getting a Programme up and running in double quick time? He/she uses the lessons from past Programmes and harnesses resources that he knows will work based on his extensive experience - what you get from an established CMMI - SEI font of knowledge company is - results, a quick ROI - today is about adding value - The CMMI journey does this on the TIN with aplomb - it brings business change, it brings this....
