New Webinar Available in April Topic: OPM3 and CMMI Integration Date: TBA Time: 12 PM EST
This Webinar will feature a discussion about integrating OPM3 (Organizational Project Management Maturity Model) and CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration). Combining these models adds clarity to the theoretical foundations of both perspectives by comparing and contrasting the underlying tenets of these frameworks. Notably, conducting even one study using one maturity model can use a significant number of resources in terms of education, assessment, and improvement. Successful integration has the practical effect of reducing these expenditures. This Webinar includes a discussion concerning the methodologies used to translate an OPM3 analysis into CMMI results. About the Speaker Mark Ward, Ph.D., PMP, is an Assistant Professor of Computer Management and Information Systems at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Besides teaching information systems classes, he also regularly conducts workshops on PMP® certification, OPM3, and other project management-related topics. He is a retired Air Force officer and worked extensively on the C-17 acquisition team during his military career. He has many scholarly publications and holds several technical certifications (a complete vitae is available upon request). Besides the A&D SIG, he also has memberships in Beta Gamma Sigma, Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association, Mensa, and the United States National Taekwondo Federation. |
