March 22, 2011 - Portland, Oregon "Using Scrum to Avoid Bad CMMI® Implementations" Kent A. Johnson is speaking at the SEPG 2011 North America Conference in Portland, Oregon. This conference is hosted by the Software Engineering Institute. This presentation covers experience from organizations that have used Scrum with CMMI to obtain the best of both worlds. The first example is an initial Scrum and CMMI implementation, the second example is using CMMI to bring a failed Scrum implementation back to life, and the third example is one of the only CMMI Level 5 Scrum implementations in the world. We identify the most common bad practices and misconceptions we have encountered in using CMMI. Lessons learned are shared that show how these bad practices and misconceptions have been addressed using Scrum. Introducing Scrum into an organization is fraught with impediments. Additional impediments occur when striving for hyperproductive Scrum. We explain how using the CMMI's enterprise focus has addressed many of these impediments.

June 9-10, 2011 - Barcelona, Spain Using Agile with CMMI® Training Course Hotel Tryp Condal Mar, Cristobal de Moura, 138 08019 - Barcelona - ESPAÑA Instructor: Kent A. Johnson is an SEI-certified SCAMPI High Maturity Lead Appraiser, an SEI-certified CMMI instructor, and a Certified ScrumMaster. The primary goal of this interactive 2 day seminar is to help teams get the most out of using Agile Methods together with CMMI. Agile Methods and CMMI are often perceived to be at odds with each other. However, some organizations have benefited from combining these approaches and have demonstrated a synergy from using Agile Methods with CMMI. In this seminar, we present “Agile attributes” and what they bring to a CMMI Implementation, “CMMI attributes” and what they bring to Agile Methods, and the implications of Agile Methods on SCAMPI Appraisals. Real-world experiences from CMMI Maturity Level 2 through 5 organizations are shared in the form of success stories, failures, and root causes. Students successfully completing this course will receive a signed certificate. Attendees who are Project Management Institute credentialed are eligible for 16 Professional Development Units (PDUs).
