Bridging the Gap Between CMMI and Six Sigma Training: An Overview and Case Study of Performance-Driven Process Analysis

Abstract

Objectives: During this tutorial, we will describe: Motivation and design principles for an analysis course that also serves CMMI and Six Sigma. A problem-solving methodology and its relationship to CMMI, plus, a selection of its steps and analytical tools, A cost and schedule variance reduction case study. At the completion of this tutorial, you should be able to explain: considerations for building your own training courses (if you need to do so), an overview of the DMAIC methodology, performance driven process improvement, process variation, Y to x flowdown (or critical to quality flowdown), performance driven subprocess selection, how to examine and improve the quality of your data set, baselining and the basic tools , and an example of a process performance models.
