discipline-specific process improvement models, including the
CMM® for Software, EIA 731, and the Integrated Product
Development CMM.

SEI-Authorized Instructor for Introduction to the CMMI
SEI-Authorized SCAMPI Lead Appraiser

As an SEI Partner, P3I provides training and appraisal services
of the same high quality as that delivered directly by the SEI

Appraisals
The Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement
(SCAMPI), developed under the auspices of the SEI for varying
appraisal needs, are proven tools to evaluate and measure the
maturity of an organization’s product development, services,
and/or acquisition processes.
SCAMPI Activities include planning, site-visit, final briefing,
Appraisal Disclosure Statement, and submittal of results to the
organization and the SEI.
- SCAMPI A Appraisals are a full comprehensive appraisal method,
with thorough model coverage where a maturity rating may be
provided if desired by the sponsor. A SCAMPI A is led by an SEI
Authorized SCAMPI Lead Appraiser with a team of trained
appraisers. Minimum team size is four. If an organization is
providing team members they must be trained in both the
Appraisal Method and the CMMI.
- SCAMPI B Appraisals are less comprehensive than a SCAMPI A and,
depending on the organization’s needs, can be less expensive. An
organization may begin a SCAMPI B with an initial
self-assessment which is then used by the SCAMPI B Team Lead and
Team to focus on areas needing attention. No maturity level
rating is determined in a SCAMPI B, but a risk assessment may be
made to assist an organization with its future process
initiatives.
- SCAMPI C Appraisals provide a quick look at an organization;
checking for specific risk areas. The SCAMPI C is less expensive
and doesn’t require the level of training needed for SCAMPI As
or Bs.
Training Services
Introduction to CMMI V1.2
The Introduction to CMMI V1.2 is a three-day course which
introduces systems and software engineering managers and
practitioners, appraisal team members, and engineering process
group (e.g., SEPG, EPG) members to CMMI fundamental concepts.
The course is composed of lectures and class exercises with
opportunity for participant questions and discussions. After
attending the course, participants will be able to describe the
components of CMMI models and their relationships, discuss the
process areas in CMMI models, and locate relevant information in
the model.
This course fulfills a prerequisite requirement for any course
requiring an official SEI Introductory CMMI course.

staff members who are slated to be SCAMPI Team Members or who
