Rules of Engagement

Participate and share your experience.

Speak one at a time.

Keep discussions and questions to the point—instructors may need to

“bin” some questions to keep on topic.
• Use the “parking lot” for issues.
• Once an issue has been posted, do not continue to revisit it.

Submit change requests for model and training issues to

info@cmmiinstitute.com

Silence your cell phones and other communication devices.

Be prompt when returning from breaks.

Exercise: Japers Engineering and Design, Inc.

Next, we will do an exercise.

• We will form you into work groups at the resort.
• You’ll identify a few improvement goals for your group (on a flip chart).
• Your group will select a spokesperson.
• Finally, your group will present its ideas and serve as a reviewer for another
group.

Once we establish process goals, we’ll consider why CMMI-based process

improvement might help.
